I dont see how the tires could possibly wear normally...but It probably would only look good if you were "low" enough

Well honestly, it just looks stupid. Yes stupid. Serves no purpose what so ever, other than the visual look. That visual look to me says "Hey! My cars broke.My wheels are falling off". Stupid.

It's like "pants on the ground". It neither looks good nor has any real functional benefit. I also don't think it's driveable on normal streets... You might as well just put it on blocks.

" no difference drivin than a normal car" You can't be serious. Drive it on the street and see what happens if you have to do any defensive driving. Hit the brakes hard or swerve to avoid something. It's an accident waiting to happen if you drive it on the steets.

Like he said this is basically for show. Sure you can drive it on the streets, with maximum tire wear, but seriously look how low the rest of it is. Anyone who is into their car enough to want to take it to that level for show purposes, typically knows how detrimental it would be to their ride to drive it that way. I would be willing to bet that has some nice coilovers on it with fully adjustable camber and the guy/gal lays it out like that for meets, shows, photo op's...and then adjusts the camber plates and spring perches back to a lesser degree for better mobility.

Not sure if you could even get the HHR to rock camber that hard. None of the slammed HHR's I have seen seemed to have close to enough to look like that.

Now if your lowering it down and throwing some suspension goodies to really make it handle, then a little extra negative camber wouldn't hurt. It would help with the understeer and push in the front end for sure.

Everyone has an opinion. I love when people say what they think. I personally dont like it. But your car, your cash, your choice.
