    One component does not make something something else.

    The Japanese also bust out A LOT of amazing cars that have a shit ton of work done to them. Simply adjusting your camber arms to the max and throwing a set of wide wheels on again, does not constitute "I took a lot of inspiration from the Japanese builds." This is not a build. Nor is there a lot of inspiration besides one component of a very popular Japanese look.
    the only question I have is.... how do you have over 4 billion posts?

It's not Japanese. Nor does it look good in this sense.

    This is like the equivalent of wearing a t-shirt with Chinese characters on it and it automatically makes you (the person) of Chinese heritage.

    I'm in fro the front matching the rear. I think there's too much in the rear for the front to be so tame. But, I like it. So, you did not accomplish your goal of everybody disliking it. BECAUSE I DON'T DISLIKE IT!!!!! Better luck next time noob. :P

    I like E36 and I like those HREs. But these Beasts are to radical for that poor E36.

    why not? I just didn't want to do something everyone else did... Across the pond in Japan their running like -15 camber super wide wheels and daily static everywhere, i love that style and thats what i built my car around.

    I dont think everyone is used to a stanced m3 with wide wheels without flares, or alot of camber. I wanted to do something completely different no OZ Breytons, no ACS, no BBS RS. No et 30 or 20 wheels and no -3 degree camber. I took alot of inspiration from Japanese builds and wanted to do it on a platform that everyone would **** when im done, and i think i have accomplished my goal.

    I do like where you are going. It is different, and mostly pulled off well.

    Add more camber up front like you said, and you are golden!

    Thanks man! The front should sit at about -8 or 9 when im done so i can lower it more, and that would even the camber out a bit.

    They kind of are radiused but not all the way. I pull them all the way down to the sideskirt but not really alot, maybe half a inch, in person you can tell that they mold perfectly around the wheel but its hard to capture that in the pictures.
