How did you get the camber?

Before:
Unlike other people, I like negative camber. How did you get camber? Just by lowering it, or did you get control arms?
Oh, what springs did you use?

Car has settled just a bit from when I took these pics. Alignment is at -2 ft and rr . I absolutely LOVE the way it feels with the Enkei RPF1's in the nice, light 15x8 size!

H&R are nice. Sets very well. How many turns are you on or threads? Looks like some action at the dragon.

Looks good, front look dropped a bit more, but might be the angle of the wheel.

Manzo 1.25" lowering springs installed on the back. Ran out of time for the front but gives it a more levelled look

With the lowering springs- are you using wheels spacers also? Those 15's look flush with the wheel arches. If so, what mm are you using? Thanks.

Thank you. So your wheels are actually extending beyond the wheels arches. Correct? I run 15's also and was thinking 12mm - 15mm spacers with the 45mm offset of the wheels to run flush with the body of the car. Was I thinking too little on the thickness of the spacers?
