Nitrouz - The Evolution II.

Looks good. Needs alignment...the reason the steering feels so fast is because of all the negative camber you just added by lowering the car...

Already aligned. Running -1.7 front and -2.0 rear camber. The "steering feels fast" I was referring to was the balanced feel of the car and the lack of body roll, not traction.

Did you install front and rear camber kits too?

If not, then how did you have the front camber adjusted to -1.7? Did it just end up like that? When I did my alignment after dropping on coilovers, they couldn't adjust the rear to -2.0 without a camber kit. -2.4 was the most they could correct to with the OEM parts. That's why I was curious.

I'm not sure...it was just printed out to me at the alignment shop. I was pleasantly surprised too.

Oh well, it worked out well for you then. The front camber is not adjustable with the OEM upper control arm. Unfortunately, my front camber was really out of whack (-1.0 on the left and -1.6 on the right) after lowering, so I ended up getting front and rear kits to bring my alignment to -2.2 front and -2.0 rear.
