no, what he is saying is he has positive camber (which i don't know how after a drop), but i would probably guess that he means /----\. and secondly, an alignment will fix the situation, just because the camber is off, doesn't mean you have go buy a camber kit in order to correct the problem, what he can do is adjust the toe a bit according to his camber readings, because the toe is the main thing that is thrown off after a drop, after that it will ride better than a camber kit. and last of all, you don't want to ride like l---l, it will ride like a piece of crap. you want a little negative camber.

he has positive camber...which makes no sense to me. just pick up a camber kit. theyre just ajustable UCA's and can be had for about 300-350 front and back.

wow that was hella easy. the only tough part was trying to get the caliber bolts off. while i was at it, i put on some brembo slotted and cross-drilled rotors on. looks beautiful. as for the camber it turned out to be weird. the tires were actually like \-------| so i put the camber the same on both sides and tomorrow i'm going to get it all aligned. yay. so much fun and now my back freakin hurts. oh well. one less thing i have to worry about in the future.

posted new pix of it all too, check it out.
