yea, before fitment was better with the NKB Cups...although I love the SSRs better, the fitment looks like an afterthought (buy lowest offset and camber it without having to do the proper bodywork to make it work.)

Well done Valristo, I don't have anything against camber as long as the car is low. I like when the front and rear camber matches though.

very nicely executed VaLristo!! I love the new SSR wheels. This is a perfect example of oni (demon) camber done right but I like the old stance better but still sick none the less.

James' stance is a little extreme for my liking. Usually oni camber is supposed to stay under the fender so you can still stay slammed but because its right on the edge of the fender it makes the ride sit kinda high and cause the wheels to poke when air'd up

it might look like that, but all fenders were cut and re welded etc..

i think it makes our cars look pretty stupid and should be reserved for cars like these:






but people can do what they want and will. Hope I don't get flamed by the Tsuna nation.

i am sorry but i too just can not see any point or justification for "devil" camber. even james/vip'dout doesnt rock camber like that any more. in MY opinion it just looks rediculous. i of course like the slammed/ aired out look with SOME camber

and geez i still live the profounds more than the scaras. i actually like scaras more in general but the profaounds just seem to fit your car better. color matched ordens might sway my opinion though?
