Maybe he used both to gain some extra wheel clearance between the wheel and strut? Pull te plates allthe way in, and the camber bolts all te way out. That might give him a 1/8th inch (maybe, probably less than that) clearance at the top of the wheel. Still retarded either way.

Everyone missed he point that he is increasing the KPI. I'm sure that is what he had in mind.

I had hoped to god it wasn't a forte, until I saw that bodyline=/
so bummed right now.
And @Bobzilla haa!!
Sadly, the truest thing ever posted on that forum.

Since everyone swapped their stock badges with those goofy ass lexus lookalike/sideways mazda looking badges, I posted a thread looking to buy stock badges so I can have an extra to paint to replace my ruined front badge.
No help, even though over half the dumbasses there have the "crooked k" mad tyte kdm stage 2 badge swap

Yeah. .... like the thread I started looking for people that had swapped to coilovers to get me some measurements of the stock take-off parts. No dice. That Forum is the bottom of the internet. completely worthless.

what measurements do you need?
I have stock springs in a box in my closet, and I'm going to get the megan coilovers when my struts start going bad lol. Probably sooner actually. I can take some measurements for you.
I have a '10 2.0, but I'd think they would be the same except for rates

and what the hell are they all talking about "zeroing out" the camber bolts instead of going to the goddamn store and buying a couple bolts to put in there?

Some retard in California said: Selling my 1994 Suzuki Swift GT most known as the GEO METRO. I repeat for those who are unclear SUZUKI was the original Japanese manufacture of the "swift" relabeled by others as (chevy/geo metro, dodge cultus, pontiac fire fly. . .all the same car) almost every company had a swift just rebadged with very little to no differenced besides maybe cosmetics to set the competition apart. Im sure if your looking at this ad you know how hard it is to come by a GT/GTI swift. Unlike the base model geo/metro/swift/ford aspire/firefly the GT Swift comes "race ready" With a powerful 4cyl 1.3L 16v DOHC compared to the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder base model. The GT also comes factory with all around disc brakes, fuel injection, bucket seats, hd sway bars, better handling, 14" wheels/tires, beefed up clutch, "race" trim interior and exterior and close ratio 5 transmission..

What the E36 M3 is a Cultus?

I know pretty much every E36 M3ty ChryCo product and hold a love for them all, but I've never heard of that one.

Unless Ricky Retardo meant Colt, which is a Mirage, not a Suzuki and also bigger than a Metro. Which is what we all knew, but that gave me an opportunity to use Ricky Retardo in a sentence, which is what I wanted anyway.

Cultus was Suzuki's AWD Swift. It got hotter cams and made 110hp. It was the most badass tiny little thing that could 4-wheel drift.

Suzuki made some rally cars from them. They got a bit higher comp, cool cams and a 10,500rpm redline. Did I mention they weighed 1900lbs and were awd?

Neat. It's like they knew about my ideas for Samurais before I even thought of them.

Still doesn't explain why Faglord thought it was a Dodge.
