93, I think 15mm makes your front wheels poke too much. 5mm spacers would be a better application, but now we're talking extended studs, which is a PITA over spacer adapters.

Another way to look at this, once you start obsessing over 5mm give or take, the project itself becomes more about the obsession than the goal. Let it go, let it go... LOL

-1.8 camber is fine. Not overly noticeable as tilted, while still working for what you want.

Yeah, I didn't want to have to install extended studs but 5-10mm spacers would have been perfect. I guess it's one of those things where I have to settle

What’s the thinnest space you can use without extended studs, 3mm?

why not go 5mm and get some extended studs? Your talking between the spacers and studs a total of $60ish and 45 minutes of your time you can have everything installed. Install is a easy

I didn't know how much I wanted at first, I was debating between 10 or 15mm and I went with 15 because they were bolt-on. I'm not upset with the look, and I have no rubbing so right now nothing is making me urgently want to switch to 10mm just yet.

They do have 10mm bolt ons, but theyre more expensive because the materials they have to use are a lot stronger. You wouldnt want to cheap out on with such thin bolt ons, so something like Project Kics is a good choice.

Installed my new exhaust system, was a bitch and a half, good thing I had enough beer to last me from the start to the end. Muffler hanger corroded and had to be removed ( still need new one and have it welded, also had to saw off 6 exhaust mounts ( left overs from a muffler shop on old exhaust ). Hooking back op got little messy, after too many beers my fingers weren't so agile and the liquid gasket went places..

Totalled ($19K in damage)

Copart & LKQ have given somewhat decent offers (4 figures) so I'm just going to grab my wheels/tires/personal effects, junk it and move on.

Sorry to hear that

Probably easier than having it sit in the driveway to part out part by part and to have as a constant reminder.

Good luck man!
