        See but you are so much lower than me. My front still has about 3/4 inch of fender gap that I am trying to hide. I just can't seem to do it unless I go lower.

          camber plates will definitely help you hide that gap!

              Everyone tries to slam the shit out of their cars but you are in fact making it handle worse not better. The more you lower it the more the roll center is lowered thus the car rolls more not less

                the reason most cars handle worse is because you mess with the suspension geometry

                The location of the geometric roll center is solely dictated by the suspension geometry. The SAE definition of the force based roll center is "The point in the transverse vertical plane through any pair of wheel centers at which lateral forces may be applied to the sprung mass without producing suspension roll".

                its old news most people that lower their cars dont care

                  I have a separate race car for a reason. You actually think I would track a 318 anyway?

                                They do and I did. All my skid plates as custom for the motor you are running.
