^^^man, we'll have to talk sometime because I want to run a more flush setup up front, but I'm worried I won't be able to turn. Are you running the Studio pieces in the rear as well? I need to camber my rears more.

Also, how much life do you get out of your tires? :X I just got an alignment today and new tires yesterday.

i been on the same 3/4 of the tires since November when i drove down to SD for a VIP meet. my rear driver tire got 2 nails in it in a week back to back so i had to throw something fresh on there. In the rears im running STUDIO RUCAs, Toe links and Trac Links. sitting at -15ish camber.

good to know man, gives me some peace-of-mind that I can daily this and not buy 3-4 sets of tires for the year

I'm going to be getting the Studio rear LCAs and look into the toe-links and track links for the front. If I get some decent life out of my tires, I'm going to push for -10 all around (-7.2 up front and -4 in the rear since the rear is still high). Your car is definitely the inspiration.

no, you're right... lol.

they don't really make rear "RCA"s but they do sell (in jp anyways) SS kits which relocate the shock inwards and down ~1" but they're designed for cars with factory AS to go lower, pretty much useless on anything with threaded coilovers as you can't correct the rear suspension geometry by moving the shock.

oops, yeah, I meant for the rear. By RCA, I meant Studio's rear lower control arms. Going to get all this when I order my BC coils

hmm, from what i heard from member genetic he needed toe links to correct his toe at his drop. he is on air though. he said he was eating through the rear tires, but with the adjustable toe links all is well.
