All Terrain tires

How is handling affected at all?

I haven't noticed any downside from the camber shims. Using lowering links, I also lowered my front 2/3 of max (to save wear on front shaft rear) and rear to the max (to even it out somewhat) and nothing negative associated with that.

What happens to the shafts?

What happens to the shafts?

If the vertical angle from the front motors to the axles isn't optimal, it increases wear on the u-joints, which eventually leads to vibration. This is one of the reasons the model X & S default to the low setting. The other reason would be better aero for highway driving.

Some users have had their half-shafts replaced 3 or 4 times and when warranty runs out, you pay for it yourself.

So the optimal height for a stock model X or S for the front half-shafts is low, but for rear tire wear it's high (cheetah mode). See a problem here?

what the hell... I drive in low all the time anyway, but what is the recommended installs than?

Those link thingies with no change on front, but a change on rear, and then either adjustable camber arms or the shims on rear?

Just get the red shims and an alignment from someone local and call it a day. No reason to do the rest. Might be a good idea to check out the lifetime alignment, about $100 more than one, which gets you one every 5,000 miles or so. It lets you tweak a bit on the next one if the red shims aren't enough.
