Right - figured the prob with steering rack and suspension is prob caused by my camber being out since I fitted my lowered kit last year (although wear and tear this hasnt helped).

Micky's camber mod seems to be pretty straight forward to do but he recommends welding 2 washers over the existing holes and I dont have access to welding gear (sure I can get a garage to do it)

What I want to know is has anyone actually dont this camber mod and if so how easy was it? Anything to look out for?

piece of p1ss

welding not important as i havent done the welding and mines not moved in over a year. just make sure you get a touchup pen and paint the surface of what uv filed off so it dont rust

just to confirm, I'm basically moving the holes out towards the wing arent I?

So wheels are more vertical?

How did you find this on handling?

iv done it just cant b assed take pics :P

will take some tomorrow for yas, if i remmeber

yes move them out ade, id say 5mm for -30, 7mm for -45, 9mm for -60

i would think a round file would be ideal if uv not got a rotary powertool

just gte it done and go get it tracked then rag sh1t outta it round some corners :D

i noticed steering was lighter, and also car felt like it was on rails compared to before
