    Currently running -2.0 camber up front and -1.5 in back. I think I could bring the back down a bit. The car looks way different than with 18's. If you check this picture from the Roval a few weeks ago you can see how compressed the suspension is under load.

    KW makes a Hydraulic Lift System (HLS) which would be really cool to have, but it's pretty pricey.

    Thanks for all the feedback

    I know they have a universal kit, not sure if there's a specific kit for our cars, haven't fully researched it.
