Nah not a problem at all, everyone knows that a little extra negative camber is good for cornering/handling.
The 'multiple front license plate' thing is a nice touch as well LOL.

The tires have been known to blow out. That **** was popular in germany before all the little retards here got ahold of it. It used to be a VW thing (which is fitting with all the latent homosexuality) but now it has spread to the Japanese and luxury side of the house.

It's a fad, like underglow or murdered out cars.

Is the theory that the smaller contact patch of the tires cuts resistance and makes it faster?

You know I'm kidding right? Right?

Wow.. when I thought ricers couldn't get any more dumb.

And here I was, 15 years ago, trying to get a camber CORRECTION kit for my CRX Si because I was losing cornering grip from too much negative camber. (on street tires). If only I had waited..

HAHAHAH! Phillyls1 AND TNTRAMAIR, I see you guys posting on there sometimes. I have gotten banned at least 3 times. I can't help myself. That site is one of my guilty pleasures. The kid that tried turning a civic into a rat rod was one of my favorites in the past couple of months!
