I understand the basics behind Camber and Toe, but i'm a noob when it comes to the tuning and the hardware behind it.

So out of curiosity...

I have the 18" HFP rims/tires (225/40/18) and eventually want to go with the slammed to the ground look. Any idea how low of a drop I can actually get without wheel rub?

With your suggested drop in height what kind of alignment would I be looking at? I would still like to be able to keep my car at a performance/track worthy steering capability. I would assume the car would respond better with the lower center of gravity anyways but I worry about taking a hard corner on uneven pavement and flying away because the suspension would be too stiff. Finding balance is so difficult

If you could suggest in general what kind of parts I would need to acheive this I would also appreciate it.

This is a great writeup by the way and i'm sure everyone here appreciates your time invested!
