After lowering my car by -60 its easy to tell how far out the camber is. Is it true you can get a kit to make it possible to adjust te camber?

Where would i get one from and how much are they usually.

Thanx

If It ain't broken, just take it apart anyway!

U can, but an easier way and cheaper is to elongate the holes where the bottom ball joint is bolted on. This works very well (ask CP) and doesnt mean that u bring the top strut out causing rubbing probs.

Sometimes with big wheels and dodgy offsets, moving the top mount out can mean the top of the wheel scrubs, thats why CP did the bottom instead.

I am gettin some bolts off Niek, he is bringin em over for billing :D this is what he told me:

First of all: they are not keen on people fitting the
bolts themselves, because it involves some grinding
and fiddling with the shock mount. (where the shock
mounts to the knuckle bit holding the track control
arm and tie rod) I have these bolts on both the GSi
and the valver, and it takes them a fair bit of work
to fit properly.


So there you go, 16 quid & corrected camber, nice one.

Once they are on, will let you know what they are like.

Sounds good, put egg shaped bolt in bottom shock mount, turn til camber is nice, put nut on & tighten. easy peasy.

hope this helps.
