Mr.kenchan, this is what I am thinking too!

That why I always ask the effect on camber when having wider spacers.

yah, weekend's suppose to be sunny and cool so im looking forward to my drives.

im trying to decide if i want to replace my hose clamps for my HPS tubes or not. it's 100% for cosmetic reasons but they sent me regular worm clamps in my kit last year because they were back ordered on their oem type nicer clamps.

HPS sent me the nice clamps afterwards and they have been in my parts bin for 6months or so.

hahahaha. it's kind of a pita to replace since i need to take off the strut bar to install the HPS tubes.
