    Cool thanks GSi Jimbo. Probably why they are a bit cheaper as they don't give as much adjustment as the other ones I have seen, but still good price.

    Kwik fit couldn't do any tracking at all as the car was 'too low'. In the end took it to another place and they managed to do it. Shame I didnt come across the camber adjustment bolts then as I would have got them to do the whole lot at once and save me some tyres at the same time.

    [EDIT] Just took a look at the link (thanks Southie) they are Eibach items aswell

    Would 1.75 deg be enough adjustment for the Nova lowered 35mm?

    You would prob find 1.75 is too much, trail and error, or sit crunching numbers

    or the novaload camber mod of redrilling the top mount holes outwards for ever 10mm of lowering.

    Well if it needs no more than 1.75 deg adjustment for 35mm lowering then I'll go for those then. Half price ain't too bad.

    Have been thinking about the Novaload technique but I'd rather have the bolts. Holes in the chassis just mean more chance of rust
