OSCA,

Your bug looks nice! What size tires are you running in front/back? And what lowering mods do you have? Your set up is how I'd like to see mine someday if I changed it from stock.

Thanks-

I've got 145s in front and 205s in the rear. It's got an adjustable beam in the front and a camber compensator in the front and rear. On the rear it's still the stock height.

OSAC-

How do those camber compensators work out? Definately worth buying/installing them?? I heard that they really help out in the rear in fast/tight turns. Any info is appreciated!

Erik, they work like a dream! No body roll or anything, i can take turns that any normal car has to take at 25 at 35-40 cause it turns so tight! Except when it's raining of course! Heh
