Gday mate, Yeh that what I meant camber. I was trying to remember the damn word lol, Im just wondering if i put SL front , SSL rear. will it need the camber kit fitted?? or only just get wheel alignment to correct it? Thanks buddy

I don't think it's essential. SSL isn't heaps lower than standard FE2 so a wheel alignment should be ok - ultras may tip the wheels in too far though to be corrected without a kit. I know you can get a fair amount of camber dialed in, but what you'd experience with the rear with ultra lows would be too much neg camber. Fronts would be fine as you want some neg camber in the front but you might chew out the inside of your rear tyres too quickly and lose a bit of traction off the line. I don't know what the stock set up allows for with positive correction but I'm sure you'd be fine with SSLs

Also, a lot of guys seem to leave a fair amount of neg camber in the rear when they get their wheels tucked up under the guards to help eliminate scrubbing. Wouldn't be my choice of options though.

ultras(SSSL) all round. just sits above tyre on rear fronts heaps of clearance SSSL in a 6 drops it nothing. no scrubbing on rear with 9.5 genuine GTS' wheels. SSSL all round really isn't that low with 20s on 18s it's too low. if had an 8 id have SSL front SSSL rear cause SSL will be same as SSSL in 6.

most of the ve ive done with sssl's have a rear camber between -1.30 to -.45 degress, on full adjustment.
