That depends on what point I am with the car. The current setup plan doesnt really let me have any adjustment other than camera and toe. Now in the future, when I got an extra $10k laying around, it will be getting a Griggs Racubg SLA front suspension setup and their rear setup as well. Unless I wanna get crazy and do an 99+ Cobra IRS rearend swap.

baby steps though.

"Camera" came from you, dude. I knew what you meant... because I know you're into photography, and camber is very near and dear to my heart.
