Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered, but I don't have time to search through the 46 pages of this thread to read all posts about camber and camber adjustment... Short story: RCE blacks/bilstein setup, Michelin Pilot SS (225/45/18). I'm (unintentionally) running with about -2deg camber on all 4 wheels (factory adjustment maxed out) and am seeing significant uneven tire wear (inner edge worn to the wires after <2 years, ~20-25k miles). I'd like to be running about -1deg all around, as I think this will increase my tire life. What are my options? Is that amount of settling with a slightly lowered vehicle to be expected (resulting in -2deg after all factory adjustments are maxed), or is it possibly I have some other issue leading to this excessive camber? I assume 20-25k miles on these tires is not normal, right? They are pretty expensive so I was hoping they'd last a lot longer than that... Any info at all is greatly appreciated. Have 4 new MPSS delivered today, and will get them on ASAP to get off the badly worn tires (one of which blew out last Friday), but want to address the overall camber issue before I put too many miles on the new rubber. Thanks!

Almost forgot... also saw a grey/silver 5th Gen GT going north on 95/128 around 5:30pm yesterday (I think it was yesterday... may have been the day before). I was headed south, so no real chance for interaction, but figured I'd give it a shout out... 1 of 2000 and all.

Black 5th Gen GT on 95N/128N around 7:45/8am today... tried to get next to you to wave, but you exited before I got a chance.

Silver 4th Gen GT on 95S (near Exit 46) around 4pm... Getting hassled by the 5-0... Hopefully you were able to talk your way out of it! Sent good vibes as I cruised by!

Took my baby in to have a cylinder 4 misfire checked out (just a coil pack, again) this morning. As I was waiting at the counter I overheard two of the technicians talking... Tech 1: "Did you see the unicorn parked out there?" Tech 2: "Which one, the ABP (mumble mumble, unintelligible)" Tech 1: "No, the 2.5GT." Tech 2: "Oh, yeah... a unicorn, eh?" Tech 1: "Yeah, we don't hardly ever see any of them around here!" At this point I caught their eye and started chatting with them for a bit. Always fun when others note the rarity and awesomeness of our cars!

Spotted this one again (5:45pm yesterday, 93S near exit 35)... Definitely dark grey LGT, middle aged man, bald or shaved head. Unable to get his attention yet again... P.S. One of your headlights is out.

Yesterday around 6pm on 93S (south of 95, north of Medford)... dark grey (?) 5th Gen GT... pulled up alongside you trying to say hi, but you didn't look over, revved the engine but still nothing. Hard to see the driver, but might have been a middle-aged man, so maybe not a forum enthusiast... car looked stock.

What's really nice is that they were able to photoshop out the trailer upon which it was being pulled! :lol:

Little Italy... is that anywhere near the North End?

Spotted a silver 4th Gen on Route 100 near Wardsboro in VT on Saturday (around 2-3pm)... passing in opposite directions so didn't have a chance to wave. Anyone here?

Tall white ass-guy, tyvm. And I NEVER drive like an asshole... sometimes...

Don't listen to anything Sigma says... dude's not right in the head.

Yup, Waze was taking me to my haircut! Saw you behind me for a few turns, and saw enough of the side view to know it was another 5th Gen GT! Threw a thumbs up out the back window, and then again as you passed me while I parallel parked. Think I saw you wave back the first time. Car looked nice and clean CC, you live around that area? - Patrick

8am today stuck in traffic on the Lynn Fells Parkway... Dark Blue 5th Gen GT with male driver. Gave you a thumbs up through my side window as I passed in the opposite direction, not enough time to see if you noticed.

:lol:

Wednesday night around 9:45 on Storrow Drive, silver 4th gen LGT... I believe it was an asian male driving, but not 100% sure of ethnicity (it was dark). Tried to catch your eye, but you were exiting. Last night around 6pm at Wellington Circle in Medford, female driven white 4th gen LGT, I waved from behind you, but not sure if you were looking.

Is the tow hook just bolted onto the bumper cover? Or does it attach behind, to something that will actually let you tow using that hook?

Not a compliment, per se, but last week was on an on-ramp to a major highway... Noticed a BMW with a bulging hood (M3 or 335) close behind me, so figured I'd hop on it when the ramp straightened out and merged onto the highway. He kept pace but couldn't pass me until I let off (right at the legal limit ) at which point he cruised up next to me in the left lane... I looked over expecting BMW gonna BMW (one finger salute), but to my surprise he was smiling and gave me a thumbs up! Gave him one back, especially after I noticed his was an E46 M3, a car I lust after on a daily basis!

Spotted the pictured (nice and clean) Az Blue 5th Gen GT while hiking mid-day yesterday in New Hampshire... looked stock, but didn't get too close as I was with a group and they were all confused what I was doing! Also spotted a blue (NB or ABP) 4th Gen LGT on 93S headed towards 95S around 6pm yesterday... Blipped the throttle as I went by, and I think you looked over before exiting, but not sure if you saw my wave. Car looked good!

White 5th Gen GT on Low St in Newburyport just now... looked stock. Gave you a thumbs up as we passed in opposite directions, couldn't see if there was any reciprocation. Anyone on here?

Should we tell the seller there were closer to 200 made in 2012, not 1200?!

Sweet camo seats!

Was there someone on these boards that had an STi with license plate OMGSTI, and a LGT with license plate OMGLGT? If so, I spotted the OMGSTI this morning on 95N/128N right around the split...

But if you bang them both at the same time, it's like scoring with 4 women 1/2 their age... or your age... or something like that... What's the saying? Two 50s make a 10? Hmmm... that doesn't seem quite right.

I'm sure I'll see you around again... I live in Medford (Medford Sq now, but moving over by Wellington at the end of the month), so I'm on 93N to 95N weekdays around 730/8am, and 95S to 93S around 530/6pm.
