whatev, when i see a car with terrible camber in the rear (and i must say thats the worst ive ever seen) it makes me wonder what the owner really knows about "modding" a car, not saying you dont know anything, but thats just not something you would see on an audi, thats all.

My tire wear is normal and my car handles like it's on rails. My car even OVERSTEERS with 10's in the back, so don't sit here and try to tell me about how terrible my setup is.

The reason it understeers is because of the -2 degrees of camber in the rear. It reduces the contact patch. It's still a bit mysterious to me though, because the contact patch reduction isn't much and in theory it should still want to understeer, but it doesn't. Go figure!

So you must be the designated "expert" around here on how to mod a car? You sure talk a lot of big talk for a guy with some cheap *** knock-off wheels on his car and a giant wooden box thrown in the back for a "system." I'm sure your 30 pound wheels and stereo does a lot for the performace of your car, right?
It's pretty obvious you don't know nearly as much as you seem to think you do. My alignment settings are dialed in to exactly where I want them to be. My tire wear is normal and my car handles like it's on rails. My car even OVERSTEERS with 10's in the back, so don't sit here and try to tell me about how terrible my setup is. Yes, some cornering performace was sacrificed for the sake of fitting the huge wheels, but I don't track my car and I don't ever intend to, so it doesn't bother me and it was trade-off worth making for the sake of style.

my wheels are $270/piece, thats not a cheap knock off of anything. My lip on my rims absolutely punks the lip on your rims so once again your wrong..
and yes, i do consider myself a design expert. Im 21 years old and im on my fifth car, the car in my profile is my old audi, not my new one, so keep your mouth shut when you dont know what your talking about. I am majoring in all sorts of design in college so i know how to put things together very clean while making them stand out.
The point is your car is gross and if I saw you on the road I would love to laugh at you while the whole time your looking at a big black wall of my limo tint... but dont worry your seat will be rattling plenty so you will know someone is in it.
seriously dont come on here with a whack *** sig and think your tight. I have had faster cars than you and I have had cleaner cars than you, I'm sure if we met in real life we would probably be chill and drink a beer or two or three, but before anybody even knew that was your car a lot of bashing was done, so thats gotta tell you something.

Well crap Tim, I didn't know we were here to measure our e-***** with this thread. I'm very impressed with the giant stereo in your car. I had a huge stereo in my car when I was 16 also. And if you really want to play the "my wheel lip is bigger than your wheel lip" game, my $5000HRE's with a 4.5" lip will be happy to play with your $1200 Les Schwab wheels any day. Also, while we have the tape measure out, I'm very impressed with the FIVE whole cars you've been able to own so far in your obviously illustrious semi-charmed life. It's also great to know how fast some of them were. I'll be sure to tell my 11-second 400+whp Mitsubishi Eclipse all about it...
Seriously man, grow up. It doesn't bother me that you don't like my car, people have opinions and are entitled to them, but it doesn't give you a license to be a huge douchebag about it.
PS- Grammar checkers are your friend.
