    Unhappy camber on my wheels.

    HI have my gsi lowered 60mm on allesio 2's and is wearing the inside edge of the tyre out rapidly.

    cant be the tracking because it was fine before i lowered it so can i adjust the camber on the wheels as the outside edge is like new.

    has anybody else had this problem.

    cheers.

    It may have been fine before you lowered it, but as you lower a car the geometry completely changes.

    it'll be towing out like a biatch

    As Lee said, if you've changed the suspension the tracking will be out.

    Regal did sell some camber adjustment bolts, not sure if they still do. I had the same problem on mine - as standard you cannot adjust camber on a Nova - and they made a massive difference, not only to tyre wear but also to handling and grip. They look a bit crude but they work.

    Those bolts will do it but you still need to take it and have the camber and tracking setup properly

    The alternative is to drill out the holes for the two 19mm shock bolts and weld strong washers over the hole in the correct camber position, or at least allow more adjustment using the amber bolts.

    regal used to charge ?95 for those bolts.
