Angry the camber confusion CONTINUES

Ok heres the scoop. My 98 Prelude is dropped about 2 inches. Ive got about a 3 degree negative camber on both front tires. I have three options as I see the situaion right now and I would like some advice. I can either, (A) Get a camber kit, or (B) deal with replacing tires or (C) raise my ride height a bit.

THe problem is as follows. If i get a camber kit, my rocker arm will be pushed out so far that it will require extreme filing and then it will still probably rub. If I got some sort of new suspension, that would help camber in itself, but that shit tends to cost a pretty penny. If i dont do anything, and I properly rotate my tires, I cant get about 20000 miles out of the tops. That means a $600 tire change every 2 (probably more or so) years.

I really like the way the car is now; it looks agressive and clean and rides stiff yet comfortable. I dont really want to mess with it at all and just deal with replacing tires but id appreciate comments.

Also im looking at exhaust systems. I want something loud but low pitched, something thats deep and resonates. I was looking at Greddy Evo and would like suggestions. Thanks!:sun: :sun: :sun: :sun:

I think you answered your own question about your drop.

Greddy Evo is nice.
