What front camber are you running now? -2.5? I dunno if the added wear of -3.3 would justify the marginal increase in grip... but then again, you probably don't even need to pay for your tires, bastard. :fawk:
Yeah my car is at 2450lbs and the lightest 1989 Civic Si is around 2050lbs. I can loose about 200lbs (+/- 50lbs) with seats, battery, A/C, two amplifiers, one equalizer, and empty windshield washer fluid bottle. I also have an aftermarket alarm which is around 20lbs.

I don't mind the extra camber though, I'm sponsored by Falken tires
