Ya. the photo makes it look alittle funny. The toe was fine but the camber and spacing was off. It was just a temporary setup. The stance looks better now. Raised alittle in the rear, and adjusted the rucas and rim spacing. 0 toe. 2.5 neg Camber. flush wheels to body with about 3 mm spacing between the rolled fenders. looks great!

I have video's of me in my previous cars (s13 silvias and C33 laurel) but unfortunatly I havent been able to take the S15 to the track just yet. The car was pretty much stock when I first got it so I have been putting in all avail funds and free time to get it track ready.
We just moved into a new place and I go to work and school full time so it has been difficult to even get it where its at now. But its getting very close! I'm hoping for late July or Aug (even though its super hot during those months).
