Good for you And I hope they did it 3 times, and made sure The gas filled into your tyres are between 93%-95% Nitrogen, as more than that, you will start having a reverse effect

But being a wheel slut that I am (who gave me that label), I probably will check pressure, replace tyres and/or wheels before I get ANY benefits from filling with Nitrogen on my cars

I hope you not like a member of the E90 that change wheels every year.

Mlai, have you tried reducing the tire pressure further .. try 32.5/34 cold, worth a shot

Hey grimlock - I now have negative camber on both front an rear wheels. Bottom wider and tops narrower. It def gives a more meaningful stance vs stock. Will try to snap some pics when the freaking rain stops.

What car jack do you use? I am choosing between 2 now, the icecream-bucket hydraulic-electric one

Cool Koby, the car need more camber on the front, but the back seem have perfect already, hope it doesn't go too much more.

for the jack I have the normal hydraulic one but if money is ok go for the electric one, also less work on the jack and save the enagy for the rest of the work.

for all tyres there is a metal ring in the tyre that is what it is.

Did it quite a few times. All of a sudden, I feel I am < 25yrs old again You need VISA/Mastercard that support online verification mechanism. Not all card issuing banks support that. I used Hang Seng Bank Mastercard and it worked fine.
