Camber adjustment

Just put on 18x9.5 enkei nt03+m and i'm not sure what kind of camber i should be running?? I'm lowered on tein s-techs and have tein front and back camber plates. Also have a 10mm spacer up front.

What's your wheel offset? How wide are the tires? 255/35 shouldn't need any camber adjustments.

If you haven't done an alignment after putting all that on, you should get one. The camber you run you should decide on your own depending on your driving style.

For example I daily drive on 2 degrees of front and 1,3 rear camber.

+1 depending on driving style. I you daily drive around with negative camber, be prepared to replace your tires sooner because of camber wear. If your driving style is more spirited and often or used on the track, adjusting camber helps increase the contact area of the tire during high speed turns. If you're wondering about adjusting camber to fit the wheel/tire combo, depending on offset, rolling fenders and using spacers will be needed for clearance issues.

step 1: ditch the Tein S-tech springs, as they will most likely blow your struts in very short order
step 2: run -2 camber in the front and something like -1.3 in the back, 0 toe
