Just wondering how much camber adjustment there is for Gen 4's after it's lowered? or are you better off buyng a camber/castor kit?

Only looking for 1deg max.

You can get 1 degree out of the factory bolt. Lowering gives it some static camber too.

Cheers. That's what I was hoping for.

Would you say 1deg neg camber and 1mm of toe in, is too aggressive for the street? Assuming you are rotating your tires every 5000km?

How do you find the wear on your tyres Owen?

I would have though toe in would be better suited for early corning and toe out is good for faster exit speeds??? Is that right?

Toe in for stability but slow response
Toe out for quicker steering response and quicker turn in

I can't really comment on tyre wear though. I drive like an idiot
