    Toe is super important. I lowered my vw and didn't get it aligned or anything. Wore the tires to absolute shit in a couple months. My friend has -3 and he has toe shims, wore just fine.

          Stance = Cancer. It was neat to look at when it first came about. Now it's just asinine. For this I have created a new word.

          "Stancerous"

          adjective

          Definition:

          An over-abundance of camber, low, and "mad tyte style, bro"

          Examples:

          "Man that E36 M3 is clean, but mother fuck is it stancerous."

          "A stancerous horde approacheth! To thine battlements!"

          "Yolo bro-mo, my teggy fixin' to get stancerous up in this muh fucka."

            ^^^ LAWLZ!

            Theres no denying that a car with a certain ride height, wheel, and tire combination looks absolutely fantastic but unfortunately it is taken to extremes.

            I just wonder if this car still would have lost control if it had a stock suspension and alignment setup.

                      If anyone receives hate, its me with my bottlecraps. I get more crap about having stock wheels than I ever imagined. In this day and age of bullying awareness, I am going to call bullying on the next man woman or child that disrespects my stock wheels.

                          Lol, well thank you. It's about to get alot more wild this summer. So be prepared for both of us and our stupid stance setups. I'm not going to let Earls cat outta the bag. Or mine. But it should be a good one.

                            I'm running bottle caps too for the mean time. I don't mind them, its the expensive tires that are the problem

                              A 'Little' camber in the rear? BMW puts tons of rear camber stock. The bigger the vehicle, the more camber it seems. The X5's eat rear tires in stock form. They take the handling a little too far....anyone who can't come to realize they are driving a big lumbering SUV deserves to buy tires every summer. On my e39 I have everything maxed out and I still have over a degree of rear camber. I have some thoughts for that though.

                              When I mod my car I try to do things that won't adversely effect handling.

                                  That car is ridiculous. His turning radius is so miniscule... he has to triple K-turn to turn around in a parking lot.

                                      No he hasn't. The force of him drifting sideways would make those tires debead so faster. They're not even seated on the rim...

                                          I care about handling. That's why I bought a BMW. I discovered the joys of BMW handling and ride when I was in Germany the past couple of years. I was driving $1000 used E34s and also had a 316i E30. Couldn't believe how well these cars drove and handled considering they were 20 years old or more, and had well over 100K miles on them. Any other cars I'd driven with that many miles and that old felt like the suspension was completely shot.
