      Of course, that is the only way to rotate direction tires.

        well thats what he will have to do. Just rotate them whenever you do an oil change or something. A tire shop might charge $10-15 bucks a tire to flip them on there rims.

        Its only asymetrical that you can't flip on the rims as the have to be mounted on the rim a certain way, so not recomended if you have bad tire wear.

            good luck getting the rtrs rear subframe bshings - they are out of business. And it is their rear trailing arm bushings that were the good ones.

              Again... Just buy camber plates, they are cheap.
              I think I paid $270 shipped for them. Come on Nick. . . .

                They will be back open in January under new ownership, and I am sure other places still have them in stock.

                Get some urethane TA bushings instead of stock ones Nick. And camber isn't as bad as people make it seem, you don't need camber plates. The rear is worse anyways.

                  I got camber plates to get MORE camber in the front. Haha.

                    Ive heard that the urathane TA bushings squeek?

                    so are the sub frame bushings as good as others then?

                    and i would like to have more negitive at the track and fun runs on the twisties, but the car is still my dd and i would like to conserve my expensive tires

                      No doubt, that's what they are made for. One of the best benefits of lowering an E30 is more camber. No camber sucks.

                        Why would they squeek? RTRS is great stuff.

                          they don't squeak. I've had urethane TA and subframe bushings for 3 years and I've never heard a squeak.

                              My IE trailing arm bushings did squeek after awhile. A quick relube quieted them down.

                                I have no form of camber correction, front or rear.

                                So, you do have camber plates?
