This is my Daily Driver, but I'm willing to sacrifice some comfort for the Auto-x cause. The square setup will tramline like a boss I'm sure.

So with that large tire you might be limited to the amount of camber you can run but i cant say for sure. When i ran the camber washers i was only running 245 front tire so i could basically max out the camber and still have clearnace. I am running a 275 front now and I would not be able to run the washers due to how tight the clearance is.
I'll need to run a 5mm spacer to move out the tire from the strut. Of course the camber washers can be done in varying degrees as well. One 2.5mm washer or two, and I expect I'll have to play with it a little.

I've been to Haute a few times and they have never done me wrong. I've also had very positive experiences with Sheni's. Both are readily accessible to me, one from home and the other from work.

I posted the schedule in the "Canada Subforum here, and also on Project Technik if you are there as well.
