Two weeks ago i was experimenting with my rear cambers.I want to adjust them to the point of where you can notice by site that the top of the wheel is caved in and the bottom part of the wheel is sticking out like when you see an expensive sport car that the rear suspension is set-up for high speed cornering.I was able to adjust them but it seemed that the strut rod was preventing me from adjusting the stance of the degree of camber i was looking for.Instead it turned the wheel inword,toward the frame of the vehicle.The big question that i want to ask is if i remove the strut rod can i still drive her?P.S,PLEASE somebody tell me that i can:icon_evil

The strut rod? Like one of the control arms? DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE SUSPENSION ARMS AND TRY AND DRIVE THE CAR. If you want more camber then you need different lower arms or an adjustable upper arm. But other than that, if you've already adjusted them all the way, then there's nothing you can do.

And why do you think you need that much camber? Just for looks? Becuase you think it's cool? You need some camber, but not too much, it depends on a lot of things. But if it's just to drive and around and try and look cool, then do whatever you want, but DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE ARMS AND DRIVE THE CAR.

Do you think Toyota built a performance car to go fast but just included suspension components that werent neccessary just for the hell of it?

Altering your camber un-neccessarily will reduce traction and increase tyre wear. It might look cool on track cars but their tyres last less than 100km.

You're an idiot.

This was covered in the other thread post another and you'll be having time off for SM.
