    That his body kit makes him look low but in actuality he is high like an suv because the roads are bad.

    The streets here suck as well. I've got my share of rubbing in the IS300. But I'm lowered and stanced anyway. I've thought of taking a video, but then I'd have to have a camera along, which I never do.

    Not really. You shouldn't go around driving hard if you have a ton of camber and poke on the wheels.
    You'll fuck your shit up especially the cars that are so low they can only go at 5mph or else they'll lose a bumper

    Most of us here only go to as low as possible without losing function

    I've never rubbed on my car, not even once. Wondering if that will change since i chaged my camber in the rear from -2.8 to -1.5 with spacers.

    well, with less camber and less offset, yeah you'll rub more.

    lol, I'm not asking cbass to go super mad tite HellaFlush. Just lowered on S-techs like you. That's what I meant when suspension is both form and function. Obviously hellaflush is all form and no function lol.

    Sounds like you really need new springs and shocks. Stiffer suspension, even if it is lower, can definitel rub and scrape LESS than old OEM parts.

    Definitely make the video. and make sure the camera is well mounted (none of that holding it "steady" junk) and I'll see how it compares to mine.

    well I'm just saying that you need to make sure that the camera is mounted securely to the car, so that it gives a good impression of the road. Otherwise, you could just drive around holding the camera and shaking it, going "OMG these roads suck!"

    Dont mount it outside your car, you get rock chips on your new camera not only will that be a fail but we will laugh at you and never let it go. Youll be the new "paddle shifters" and 600 dollr s&h intake.

    People mount cameras outside of their cars all the time. That's how they get the sweet moving shots.

    Ok well im gonna laugh my ass off if it knocks loose and you run it over.
    Those cameras they use especially for rally racing and such are professionaly mounted with appropriate hardware, jerry rigging it to your bumper with zip ties and bungee cords will end in fail.
