is it very expensive to own a car like that?

Hmm...I think a whole basic kit costs minimum of $350-400

Adjust your front toe out and have negative camber?

Wheel toe out viewed from top: \\----//

Wheel toe in viewed from top: //----\\

Negative camber viewed from front/rear of car: //----\\

Positive camber viewed: \\----//

Oh ya, just remembered I changed to alu wheel hubs (the hexagonal shaped bits) on the TA05. LOL, I kept cracking the plastic ones after 1-2 runs. Think too much torque on them riaos!
