The camber plates are not needed. You will end up with -1.7 camber with the min drop springs. Which is fine for street use. Now if you want more camber get the plates.

How much work is it to get 305 square on a S550?

Longer studs on front hubs with correct spacer and offset 11” wide wheel.

Not hard at all.

Gonna have to look into this, i'd love to run 305 all around. I want the car to handle the best that it can. Ideally i'd love to make something that can handle as well as a GT350.

I'd say that's an easily attainable goal. Simple upgrades including the following will get you there.

• Slightly upgraded brakes
  • More aggressive pads
  • SS brake lines
• Upgraded suspension
  • Springs
  • Dampeners
  • Sway Bars
• TIRES
• SEAT TIME

I can't underline the importance of the last one. The car only handles as well as what the driver can understand.

Gonna get the bullet upgrade kit for brakes and get em powered coated to match paint. The rest I dunno about, like what springs and rims and whatnot.

The beauty of this platform is that there are many different options available. I would give the last one a try first to get a baseline understanding of your car then build to taste.

Speaking of handling and building, I took a run with a group of vintage and modern, more powerful audi's yesterday and roasted them in the mountain run.

What hood is this? Need venting and this is sharp!

These are Trackspec vents on a stock hood. The mid vent is forward mounted for better venting and all the under bracing is cut from the side pieces. Very effective and adds front grip.

Excellent, thank you!
