    i put a VZ rear end in mine at the start of the year and its the best thing i have ever done ... wheels sit nice and straight and when i look under there now there isnt a strip of wire showing every 2 months.. i got the sub frame for $550 and did it myself its not hard. i would of already saved that amount on tyres hahah ever since i installed my cam i dont seem to get much rear tyre life but now i dont have to worrie about the inside being bald when the outside is untouched
    If in doubt......FLOOR IT!!!

    I have a series 2 Vx which is the first to have the camber kit standard and my tyres last roughly a year... And in that year that produce a fair amount of smoke as well

    I know its a year because every rego I need tyres

    The lower you go, the worse the camber will be, simple as that. My car is at stock height, and no camber kit or anything, just raw VT. Never had an issue with camber wear, I rotate my tyres every 10,000km and to be honest my fronts usually wear quicker.
