Pics of lowered gs300s with positive camber
Not really looking to go negative camber on my gs300 as I don't want to be buying new tires every few months.
Looking for that flush lowered stance. I'm going for platinum VIP coilovers and varrstoens 18x9.5 and 18x10.5
Any help?

um if you have positive camber you'll still be going through tires.... they'll just be bent in a dumb looking way instead of looking good. flush stance is not possible with positive camber, and positive camber is worse for your vehicle than negative. When I got my car aligned, they got it back within stock specs, and it was at like -1.6 or something like that.

Negative camber causes "uneven" wear, not quick wear like the dragging of bad toe.

Yes i agree with that one hundred percent!
camber only causes uneven wear and toe causes quicker tire wear.
if you want tire to last really long, correct me if i'm wrong, you toe in max but still within the safe spec..

[QUOTE=Mr Jokster;7237917]Its not negative camber that makes you buy tires every month. Its toe that causes you to, its a common misconception, dont feel bad... I've had negative camber on my wheels for MANY thousands of miles (probably close to 20k) and I barely flipped them around to get yet another 20k Negative camber causes "uneven" wear, not quick wear like the dragging of bad toe.[/Q
so just get your toes maxed? ....i go thru tires monthly this thread is a life saverrr...

Both a negative camber, and incorrect toe will chew up your tires and spit them out like a bad piece of gum.
Think of it this way:
1) OEM settings are what (best bet both are 0º or as close to that)
2) Purposefully designed race suspensions run negative camber why? (at turn in, ie under load the suspension is forced to go 0º or as close too) and you have the highest amount of tire contact with the road, because the tire is flat to the road.
So unless you have deep pockets to be able to pony up for tires every 6-8 months at the cost of just being different, well then who are we to offer bad advise.
Remember proper alignment, and tires filled to correct air pressure offers the least amount of resistance. You want your tires to "roll along" not be "dragged"
