    yeah I'm sorry but when you say camber and flush...i think things like functionality over form, structural integrity, negative camber for a purpose rather than a form, 205mm=7.0in---wheels that don't fucking poke out of the tires therefore sacrificing the tires' structural integrity lol.

    Poke n' stretch is fucking ridiculous. Get tires that fit your god damn rim

Spring rates are custom. you need to give them your weight and what you are doing with the car. In my case it would be 5kg front and around 3-4kg rear.

    Oh I care about it more than you could know. It was my first car when I was first learning. I like it best out of all my cars. Iv had it for ever and plan to keep it maybe restore it but it will never be a race car.

    You know I said the ame thing. My first car was a 86 LXI hatch, toatled it just like every teeneager does, well most. Then I bought the 88 LXI hatch. She has been my pride and joy. At first i had soem retarted integra body kit on it it was 5 diff colors all kinds of crap. In the end I saw that rice was gay and put it back stock and painted it one color. I built it into a race car, because I like to be different as well. And I respect that.

    Personally I like the a mild "poke and stretch",

    (God I'm going to get flamed for this)

    There is arguably a slight performance increase in a stretched sidewall, Not extreme like a 195 tire on a 9'' rim. But stretching the sidewall makes the sidewall more rigid, by limiting how much the contact patch can deflect on the rim. The tire will then have a better response, increasing the cars turn in and less tire roll.

    Honestly the way you want to run the car to get the tire to fit doesn't do anything to help the car and you will probably kill the cars ride comfort and handling. Running -5+ camber front and rear then slamming it, isnt the way to do it.

    Cut and radius the fenders to fit around the tire it gives a much better non ghetto look.

    Here is a link to a VW guy that did it HE did an extreme version but you get the point. For the record this is exactly how I intend to do my race car when i get ready to lower it some more.
