Very yanky with the stickers down the back window, looks great without them imho! Throw some more camber on the front, maybe a little more on the back and go a touch lower i say.

Yeah i'm just testing with the stickers at the moment. =P

I only have lowering springs installed, can you still camber those?
I'm thinking of getting coilovers next year =)

buy some Whiteline camber bolts, but you should get -2 out of the fronts at least on the stocks

-2.75 easily.
I think I was running just shy of -3 at the front with stock struts & camber bolts

I'll look into that and see if i can camber my fronts and rear.

But wont cambering make my tires get worn out easily? or is -2.75 camber nothing?

The shoulders or inside of the tyres will wear down quicker.
That said on my previous car I ran -2.25 on the fronts and managed to get 25000km out of a set of tyres with a lot of hard cornering and hard driving

as long as you drive to the camber, you'll be right. If you nanna around every where and never take a corner at speed, you will wear them down yes. I ran -2deg 45min on the STI and it was fine. My yoko's did 15k and still looked new. I was anal about pressure and rotating them regularly though!

Realistically though, -2deg 45min is nothing

Get an alignment done at somewhere like Wheels World or Wilkinson's (my preferred choice) and tell them you want camber!

Talk to your wheel aligner.

-2.75 degrees is a lot. If you are just putting up and down the freeway, it is not needed. If you are going to punt the car around, it can be advantageous, but will chop the insides of your tyres out quicker.

Ah i see, i think i'll just leave as it is. Cause the car is my daily driven car, so cambering it will just make my tyres get worn out fast.

If thats the case, coilovers next year and dump that betty :P

Ken - what was the end result here? (I've lurked on there for years and stumbled across your thread). You never posted a diagnosis, only came back saying that you're wanting to do forged internals, a bigger turbo and aim for 400-450hp. wtf happened?!
