Is it possible? One of my favorite looks is a LOW car with some camber. It's most popularin JDM VIP style cars...
Google, "JDM VIP" or click this link... http://www.nationalspeedinc.com/gear-an ... u-styling/
The top image is what i'm speaking of.
It's most notorious with Lexus, Toyota and Mercedes in Japan and catching on in America.

I was hoping once out of school to sell the GP for a 350Z or maybe a WRX. If money allows for it though i'd just keep it to make it a cruiser since it'll be paid for by then and get a toy later on.

Outside of that, does anyone know? Can it be done? I know there are camber kits for the other makes i mentioned.
Has anyone "slammed" their 04+ GP? On bags?

I was headed that way but decided not to waste the money. These cars do not like being low.

But if you want to do it, the coilovers would be the best way to go, but you would have to go 97-03 LCA's. Or you would have to go with some AGX and intrax springs as well.

Just so you know lowering these cars creates a natural camber as it is. I currently have a bit of negative camber from just lowering, I have a one finger gap of fender and wheel. I plan to do bilstein and B&G springs next and it will take away that one finger gap.

Also to do a VIP "hellaflush" you must have the right wheels with the right offset to achieve the look as well

just get camber bolts. your tires will wear though in a very bad way. sounds easy for me seeing as i have a alignment machine but i wouldnt do it on a FWD

Thanks guys for input. I do understand you need perfection when it comes to wheels and tire specs.
I also understand the tire will wear uneven. thats why it will be awhile befor ei start messing with it. I didn't know if it was universal possibility on most cars.

You may wear tires just slightly fast but I've run 10k miles on my tires already and my tread depth is about 0.01 different on the inside vs the outside.

Just make sure toe is in line and your good

I will make sure if i do ever end up doing it have the toe straight.

I too think its a good look, adds aggression to me.
I think in this community something like this needs to be done to stand out a bit more.
