      his camber plates are peices of shit.
      You should see what he goes through to adjust them. It is comical.

          Do you pay a shop to adjust them for you? Or is that just your ride height???

            The ones I have are really easy to use ;)

              so which camber plates would be best? I can get ground control for stock style springs, but they are $75 more then the IE ones, and dont look like they would have as much adjustment on the positive side

                BEND THE STRUT TUBE.
                Its the best way to get positive camber back when you lower the car.

                  IE stage 3's
                  shocks and struts (some used koni's i hope)
                  powerflex offset bushings (when were they updated?)
                  rear subframe bushings (are the rtrs ones good?)
                  stock rear trailing arm bushings i guess.
                  IE's toe and camber adjustment kit for the rear

                  what rear shock mounts would you recommend
                  you're a fucking moron Nick btw.
                  replacing all the bushings you most likely have no reason to do, and wanting to cheap out on camber plates. and also getting race springs for a car you drive mostly on straight lines. . .

                  how about:
                  H&R sports (used if can)
                  Bsports (used if can)
                  E30 M3 offset bushings


                  no rear camber adjustment, no rear bushings, no camber plates

                  but you'll still have a lower, a little stiffer, and a little more fun daily driver. and that will be cheap. makes a lot more fucking sense that what you want to do. and you won't need to worry about camber shit really, just drive, and rotate tires.

                        if YOU CAN WAIT, I WOULD GET THE TRIPPLE HUMP, ITS BEING RELEASED IN EARLY 2006. MUCH BETTER RIDE QUALITY

                            sorry i would believe you but the tires i just took off tell me otherwise. I guess ive only had the car for about 5000 miles, so the wheels and tires could have been on a different car before then. Maybe i will try to make some marks accross the new tires and see if they wear off evenly. And one TA is slightly tweaked, being toed out .1 degrees and having -.6 degrees of camber. But that should lessen the wear if anything because the other side is .15 in and has like -.8 camber. This is part of the reason why i want the IE camber and toe correction in the back.

                            how many people use IE stage 3's (they have the word "race" in them i know) on an actaul race car? or a purpose built track car? from what ive heard they are great on the street and fine for track days.

                            I thought about getting some lesser springs but ive heard of a lot of people being upset and wishing they got stiffer springs, i guess i'll think about it

                            and i want to do the IE stuff on the subrame cause the alignments are slightly different, so i might as well replace the subframe bushings that have 135k on them

                            oh and the powerflex offset bushings are only like $69 which is less then the m3 ones it think

                              This explains your premature tire wear on the inside edge of your rear tire. Once you fix the problem, and your rear toe is correct you should not have any more problems.

                                if its -.15 on one side and +.1 on the other side then they would be almost parallel for less wear then normal. And all 3 tires that i have are worn on the inside
