Ok Doc, I give up, why do adjustable camber plates ad noise, vibration and harshness over fixed plates? Since I've never had either before, but am about to get adjustables to go w/Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, I'm curious. So glad to see you weigh in on this subject, takes it to a whole new level.

I can't imagine daily driving more than a 1" drop. The car already scrapes over everything!

i have 205/50-15s with the aero front bumper (about a 3/4 or a bit less drop) and my bumper rubs the ground every once and a while! I was racing in a Dinan equiped car in the beggining of summer, and man, what a set up! That guy was a race driver, but that car stuck like glue, was beating the rest of the minis by 10 seconds for the first few runs. The car felt really stable and turn in was really good. Based on that experience, i would not rule them out. Beecher Beecher
