> Not to mention, the tire/camber stuff. If a 195 on a 10" wheel with 10+ deg neg camber, lasts longer than a blast to the corner store and back… I will be amazed. The effective tread width is probably less than my motocycle tire. I know the front tires on my mini trucks never lasted more than 3000 miles, and they were camberd like that, it sucked ass.

i’m not gonna try to convince you to like it, because its an objective thing, but to say these cars are unsafe to drive or don’t fuction is just a lie. these cars still can drive just as well as anything else, the white one is use as a drift car (obv just on a hobby level). and a lot of these cars don’t even have aftermarket camber arms, the red one had the stock set up maxed out at 4.8 degrees of camber. and camber does not make your tires wear as fast as people think, yes they will wear uneven and a little quicker but if your tires are wearing fast its the toe most likely destroying it, not camber (i wrote a 10 page paper in hs once on suspension setup, wish it was never lost). and my mr2 went through a set of tires in 5k miles with 2 degrees of camber and zero toe, that was to the point of them looking like slicks, not everyone gets a lot of miles out of tires, u just deal with it or u don’t do this style.

how did that post end up so long lol.
