no but seriously nice job, I am in the same dilemma as you, I must raise my car more as I'm getting only 1 finger or less gap even though it does look good.

Maybe then my camber won't be so bad. I have about a 1.9 degree camber right now, but I can live with it. Thanks again.

If I do decide not to raise the car up, does anyone know if there is a camber kit available for the SC? Just knowing the wheels are not wearing out evenly is bothering me somewhat. I really do like the drop where it is, but would like to see the wheels straightened out and flush against the fender well. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

You guys should see what the kit looks like after a year! Mine is pretty bad at this point but I'll probably repaint it in a month or two.
Carlo your car looks so tite, I love the wheels!

also, keep in mind. with your wheel setup it's ok coz' but front and back are conservative offset. but for sc430 with aggressive wheels (for example mark's), even if there is a camber kit, more than likely you can't put them on. coz' it's usually the whole upper a arm, and that will push out the top of the wheel and you will rub crazy
