The only thing I'm worried about now is I read that I need a camber kit otherwise my tires could be screwed after 6 months?? I have no idea what that is. Do I need it?

After doing any serious suspension modification, an alignment is recommended. This "camber kit" is a bolt (either OE WRX or Whiteline, etc.) that will move the strut inward relative to the hub (as opposed to a coilover with moves the whole unit from the top.) If you don't plan on doing any performance driving, a standard alignment with factory camber bolts should be sufficient.

I refute your statement. Severe diarrhea is worse than wheel gap.

I installed everything on my car myself, they're super easy to do suspension on, other than the rear lower control arms that were a little bit of a pain in the arse.

Tires are 225/40-18 front and 235/40-18 rear Hankook ventus v12 evo

Brandon from Gandrud Chevy did the mounting and balancing. Hit me up on fb and I'll give you his info, he does it on the side when hes not busy at work and only charges like $40 if i remember correctly. Did an awesome job.

I also had to do a decent amount of fender work in the rear, but that's because I'm running minimal camber so the rear can hold up to the added power of boooooooooost.
