I am going to lower my car soon and am undecided whether to go for ultra lows or super lows. I would go ultras in a heartbeat, but and curious is the rear guards would need to be rolled, how much it will scrape, and how effectively a 4 point camber kit is going to work at reducing the notorious tread wear of the VR IRS.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

with the amount of camber you will have (around 4 degrees one person with ultr lows said), the wheel may miss the rear guard.
I have 1.2 degrees on the rear left and it just rubs over bad bumps, with FE2 suspesnion, the right side is about 0.5 degrees and doesn't rub at all. the left side seems to stick out more than the right though, it's weird...

Thanks for that.

Getting Monroe GT shocks with the springs too, so that will help??

But yeah, anyone else with experience on ultra lows?
