Camber questions
Hey everyone im reading info on here all the time an i see that a big problem with camber is all over the threads and i too want to know i see that es have the most horrible rear ends for camber but if you get camber bults and coilovers as low as possible and have the pillow ball tops all the way over will it not camber it very much??? im wanting to get coilovers and some xxr 527 chromium black 18x8.75 with like a 35+ offset and i want alot of camber.... is there realy no way to make it stanced i like that hellaflush look????

it's possible
i just dumped my car recently and got the horrible positive camber in the back after installation.
I know the back of the ES cannot adjust the camber very much. so I got the camber bolts and that only gave me -1.2 degrees on the back. I'm planning to slot the top camber bolt hole, so i can push in the spindle assembly inwards and give it more room for negative camber. it'll be a lot of effort just for looks though...but i'll probably give it a try next summer. you will need at least like 3~4 degrees of camber to get the hella flush, stretch and poke look.

You want camber, well you will have to get innovative haha, H&R camber bolts will give you +/- 3 degrees, i have -2 degrees in the back.
Now i have no idea how you got 8.75 but okay haha most are either 8.5 or 8, now camber you will need to have spacer or a low offset.You will not camber with +35 it will hit the coils, I did it on my 18x8 +45 and it rubbed against my coils with -2 degrees, it clears now with a 25mm spacer so, its +20, but it has about a finger gap between the wheels and coils. going back to get 3 degrees cause i need it to go more low , hope this helps.
and as EEngineer said, slot the coil overs to get more camber, BUT you will need a low offset wheel or spacers to clear.
Good luck, I am planning to get 18x9 all around soon or if I save up for a new set XXR 526 18x9 and 18x10, I know its a front wheel but haters will hate

Hmm i stand corrected haha, i guess there is a .75, with the H&R you are suppose to get 3 degree, now with the pillow top you get about 3 from those too. To look slam, is really hard on the ES trust me, I maxed out my front already, I am dropped about 4 inches. It still does not compare to the rest of the other people who are lowered that amount
here is my es
