Yeah it was necessary. I'm on Spec R's not coils with -1 camber only in the rear and about -1.5 in the front and it would sometimes hit on big dips at speed on the highway. Some of that might have been the angle it was parked but it was a hair less than two finger lenghts gap over the tire in the rear.

Is it just me, or is that way too much camber?
Mine's 2.3F and 2.0R, and I plan on rolling my fenders soon and bringing it to 2.0F + 1.5R. It'll be much better for track purposes. With that much camber, handling might be diminished, even with wide wheels.

Completely valid point! Yes it is too much camber, but that was the only way to make these wheels fit. That was one of my main concerns, however, refer to this thread! I was surprised at the amount of steering sharpness and feedback it retains, even exceed in certain aspects, of the H&R coils.

Lol, I doubt raising it and putting in less camber's an option for you. Ever thought about putting 265s instead? I think 2.0F + 1.5R is the ideal camber set up. But I can't say much either, since I'm running 2.3F and 2R, but I'm running springs. Once I get coils, I'll be running those camber settings.
