How?

Could you hook up water jets like the racing trucks use? You can see the steam coming off these:

some rally boys do use them too,just wired in to the brake light wires or however.never really looked into it much.:tard:

Ducting would be far easier lol

He's not running a bumper iron. I suggested ducting too, but I think there is an issue with running it close to the brakes due to the new lower arm set up???

The aim of the exercise is not to go lower, but to run much more negative camber. Winding the TCA out resulted in a degree of binding up (could possibly be solved by using a setup such as Jonlem's) but also caused the outside of the tyre to catch the arch (we do not want to run wide arches). Using camber bolts on the strut forces the tyre to rub on the coilover at the top and the wheel is already spaced away. The only way to get much more negative camber as far as we could see was to move the strut tops in and the eccentric top mounts do not give enough. Moving the turrets in was a fairly quick and simple job and the problem is solved.

I would however be keen to hear your suggestion.

And I will not throw insults, but would just like to highlight that I am frustrated by the fact that you cannot seem to post without:

a) believing you are superior to everyone
b) sounding condescending
c) keeping your cards close to your chest

THIS ISN'T A COMPETITION!

I dare say you are very knowledgeable, but you lack a little in social skills. In the ten or so years I have been using this and other forums, it is the first time I have personally insulted anyone. Feel privileged! :D

P.S. The "S**t eating C**k Muncher" comment did give us all a few laughs!

It's just a bit of plastic, a holesaw should go through it no worries ;)

Go in from the front of the engine bay(lower front pannel), above the tie bars under the chassis leg pointing stright to the rear of the disc/calipar. Seen it on race cars and bmw have a set up abit like that bar it comes from the bumper.
