And this sort of semi-shows what I did for adding some negative camber to the rear

Needs more low. Kidding. I spy some washers? Was that just for the look or to get ready for the wide wheels?

IT"S FOR HERRAFRUSH!!
No but seriously, yes to get ready for the new wheels. With the new amount of negative camber, the new wheels should fit nicely back there. Also, adding that camber gave me a bit more lows in the rear end.. I'm tucking tire hard in the back now. BTW, I don't have TC or ABS anymore.. I popped out the fuse, or else, you're in for a world of ****.
That amount of - camber was gained with 2 washers per lower bolt on the stub axle. I have some pics somewhere of the assembly taken apart, but in similar fashion to before, I didn't take pics of the process... what a build thread eh guys lol.

He's a pretty good driver, younger than me but quite a bit more experienced, I'd say he's fine.

I'm saving up man.. trust me. That's looking like it's gonna be the final.. BOOM.. that sets the car off this year
No, not right now. Dash is lit up like a christmas tree lol. In the winter, I was my ABS system.. it rarely ever kicked in, AND I was driving with 12 year old All Season tires. Having none of that isn't an issue to me.. do I recommend everyone doing it? No, because like you said, yes it can be a saftey issue. Do I know how to control my braking to not kick it on? Yeah I do, so it doesn't phase me.
Just trying to explain my thinking, rather than brag about what I can do.. which isn't my intention.. just so everyone knows... yeah haha.
Thanks bredren

Most people find ABS to be a pain.

People survived many years without TC and ABS, I think you'll be fine lol

Which fuse did you pull? I found best results with #7.

Alex, would it be possible for you to do an in car video of your exhaust sound? I'm really thinking of doing something like that to my car.

In time my friend.. in time. Hopefully, that time is sooner rather than later.. I'm not gonna forget about them, trust me
I think just under 2 inches, or right around. With these new wheels on and the tire setup I wanna run, it'll be closer to 1.5 inches off the ground. My exhaust has about an inch of clearance to the ground, at it's lowest point haha.. I need to get that fixed
Here's a pic with last years wheels of the subframe clearance:

Thanks! Yeah, I love the way it looks in there.. my bro did a good job with it.
I'll definitely give it a try.. I have a ghetto camera mount that I have almost set up.. if not, I'll get a buddy in there to record. If my camera's good enough, you'll hear a lot of vibration with my 95a AWR mount lol. I love that thing though
