My new camber kit, i got installed, and then got my car aligned at my friends' work.
Now i won't have any camber issues on my new tires.

Next i installed replacement parts for stuff that had came wit my car.

^^
Broken sideview mirror.....
Had that on the car for about 4 years, i got sick of it.

^^
This is an older picture, but if you look at the center console piece, you can see 2 holes, 1 is in the sun and 1 is in the shade.
That came like that on the car.
I was again sick of that.

^^
Good sideview mirror thanks to Gabe.
It doesn't look shiny compared to my driver side, but it's not cracked is all i care.

New center console piece, wit no holes in them.
I even cleaned up the arm rest console piece.

^^
Also installed a new switch for my interior lights.
It was a long switch, but i changed it to a slimmer rocker switch.

I'm tryin' to take is easy so i don't break the OEM sway bar brackets.
But i do feel a big difference though.

Actually the headlights are good.
I took the picture when it was like 12ish, so that's why the car looks weird.

Looks good, I'm thinking about adding a FSB and possibly a camber kit..

Kenny, with such settings, I'm sure your alignment tech also adjusted the toe angles to compensate for the camber to even out the tire wear as much as possible.

Yeah i know. lol.
The OEM is about 17mm, and the Whiteline is 24mm.
Wit the OEM front sway bar, it was so easy to pick up, wit the Whiteline it was heavier by alot.

Yeah, For some strange reason my front passenger camber was -2.4, hence why i wanted to by a camber kit. lol.
But not i have my car alignment within O.E. specs.

Possible.. I didn't tell him to do anything except make it negative to the spec. So he probably did adjust everything else..

That front sway looks crazy!! I regret selling mine.. sold it for $80.00 bucks.
