Just curious, how does your car drive/handle? I think this is the most extreme example i've seen on a 2gs.

Tbh I thought it handled quite well. I replaced pretty much every suspension component on the car so it was nice and tight, no extreme bump steer, & exceeded my expectations. Of course this setup wasn't meant to be hanging turns like a mad man or weaving in and out of traffic.

If I took offense at remarks easily then I wouldn't of built my car this way. I understand where you're coming from, just as I dislike certain things but who am I to judge. To each their own like everyone says I guess.

I have to go with SoCal Cyco on this one too. I admire your dedication to get that much camber but otherwise it's pointless to me. I can appreciate the time spent to get your car how you want it, but I'd personally not want to change my tires every time I drove around the block.

1998 with JDM upgrades here and there. 133K miles. Mine is a bit more traditional.... notice OEM camber in tact.

Soo, it doesn't turn too good. That's pretty important for handling..

I painted the high beam reflector bowls with a yellow transparent paint.
