I have a question guys, When the f is lowered, doesn't the car have a negative camber, if control arms are not replaced or a camber kit installed? Sorry I'm kinda new to the f scene, and am in search of one. I love the look of the no fender gap, and I used to have civics and integras that was lowered, and due to the negative camber, without a camber kit, I got premature wear on my tires. I'm wondering how you guys are fixing this, or is it not a big deal and owners are just let the tires wear. Just curious.

Congratulations & welcome. White was my #1 color choice, but I settled for silver (#2 choice).

There are a few F owners that I know who have just the springs, and they enjoy the slight drop that comes with installing them. Ride quality wise, it really doesn't change much.
I'm reading a lot of positive reviews on the swift springs. Thats the main reason why I'm considering them.

Ride quality for daily driving and a spirited run here and there is uncompromised over stock. Good luck whatever path you choose!
I plan on taking the car to the track once in a while but I'm not looking into tuning and making sure i get a better track time next time i go back to the track. I just wanna have fun with it!

All the exhaust videos were taken with the valve open.. I didn't op for the Meisterschaft midpipe cuz i wanted to get a full 3" midpipe for it. Thats ordered and waiting for it to come in the mail.

Lastly, Wald replica wing and roof spoiler waiting to get installed..

Thanks! I tried to install the Wald spoiler today but damn.. I ran out of time. Lexus REALLY did not want the Stock spoiler coming off. I think they used a whole roll of double sided tape on the damn thing! lol...
