Default Nope >>
It's not available here, so even if I order it now it will be here after the installation... Not sure if I'll do it at all ...

Default -2.5 to -2.8 is still perfectly ok from my standpoint >>
1) I do rotate my tires every year

2) I do track days frequently (where increased negative camber is good).

Mistake, tire wear won't be worth it.

Default OK, thanks for the info >>
I'll try first without KMAC's, since I can't get them before the installation anyways...
