4 deg of rear camber is horrible. Useful camber exists quite a bit below that.

Before picture looks MUCH BETTER. Car looks like crap now.

Better for practicality, better for safety, better for anything. That much rear camber is causing a far less than optimal contact patch and the only thing it's going to accomplish is exacerbated wear.

I'd love to wear your exacerbation. :chuckle:

Sorry, I had to.

Looks good KC, but you need wheels for sure.

If I could have any wagon, it would be a Forester XT Sport. Ignore that it's an SUV in stock form.

Also an Evo wagon.

Maybe even a GT-R wagon.

I'm getting ahead of myself.

I was exhadurating on the -4 degrees of camber, and you dont like my car i honestly dont give a s***. I build it to please me, not you. Plus being on Koni Yellows im sure it'd be pretty good at autocross, but it's my daily drive/baby hauler.

Thanks for the good compliments guys.

You're wasting your time in here. Where the herd goes, they go, and right now the herd is grazing in hella flush slammed pastures.

Only wagon I would want right now would be a M5 replica with a 5 series wagon.

E39 is good for the soul.

That's no GTR Wagon. That's an M35 Stagea with a really ugly front fascia tacked on.
