Duct tape fixes everything.

I love my Keurig! We have one at work too! :)

for those that questioned about added negative camber from spacers... when you push the wheel out with spacers your wheel rate for the suspension lowers. wheel rate in simple terms is the suspension system spring rate measured at the tire vs at the spring or spring+shock assy.

so when you push the tire outwards the tire has more leverage to compress the suspension... this can result in the car sitting slightly lower than usual (probably unmeasureable to the eye).

Thanks for the information dood! I really appreciate it!

I think their default offsets are +22, but I could be mistaken.

They're sitting on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 19/35/245 up front, 19/40/275 in back.
