Camber is kinda unknown as I have been messing with it recently however last time I had it on an alignment rack it was something like -3 degrees in the rear and like -1 degree in the front. The spacers are nonhubcentric spacers I got off my friend who is a 240 guy but they are 5mm up front and 8mm out back...

I have heard that some people have the clear come off within the first few MONTHS. However I have had no such issue, even with me rubbing rim constantly they are holding up pretty nicely.

Gotta give you props...CLEAN!!! I just got my set of wagen wheels in today. I was wondering what kind of fender mods you had to get done. I had my rears rolled cause of my previous set up. Did you had to touch the front in any way?

I shaved the rears, and the fronts aren't touched. But I'm going MUCH lower soon so we'll see how long that lasts....

Quoted from StanceWorks.
Well, today was the day. The day for Dan to ditch the racelands and go with a real coilover set-up. B&G coils came via the brown-dressed Santa Clause and they were ready to throw on. Started the day around 10:30 with Kielan(aka Krylon, aka Kaylin, aka Krylin, aka Kelly, aka Kaleigh, aka Kara, aka Karli, aka Kerri, aka Kendra, aka Ashley, and sometimes confused with Barack Obama) at my door to pick up tools and head to Dan's garage.
Got to Dan's and started taking things apart while Kelly watched. No air tools so we planned out the whole day for the project. Krylin made sure to clear his oh-so-busy social schedule too. Everything went smoothly until Katelyn started touching tools.
Bolts started stripping, nuts got lost. Everything ____ the bed. Luckily Dan and I recovered the situation and got everything buttoned up PROPERLY and the car was about an inch and a half lower all around. The car sat on stockies and snow tires while we drove to the mall to test it out. Rode great and scraped over a couple things...perfect, put smiles on our faces (like this --->:D) Ashley had to go home for dinner or it was past her curfew, who knows. So Dan and I hung out in the mall, packed lips and scouted some girls. Ended up leaving around 11 and were bored so we thought it would be a good idea to throw the summer wheels on and go for a little shoot to see how they looked and fitted.
Rolled the car back in the garage, turned on some music and changed the RIMZZZ (for you Kaleigh) and headed down to the local gas station. The car drove much better with the 18x9.5 wheels. Much more solid and responsive over the soft snow tires.
Snapped some shots, car was dirty, who cares. Tried to imitate the first photo of my old e46 that graced the front page of StanceWorks nearly a year ago. Then Dan and I thought it would be a good idea to send a cell pic to the little girl that HAD TO go home early. The kid that really REALLY wanted to see the summer wheels on the car in person. This person, of course, was Kara. She had just gotten home and made a new thread for Dan's car. Well, we are about to one-up that right now. That's why you're reading this.
Well needless to say Karli was ____ed. Here's the actual conversation after we sent the photo:
"You're a ____ing douche." - Kerri
"Charlies gonna oneup your thread later" - charlie
"He always has to. I **** both of you." - Kerri.
Well, there ends our story. My keyboard is black now that I'm done writing this. I know Kendra's hands got nowhere NEAR as dirty but, Kielanna, I sincerely hope you are not too upset at this. Dan and I enjoyed your company we're both greatful you were there to "help." You're one of our best friend man.
