I have fitted a Hi lo kit, got the mini set up and handling as I require. The only issues is that the front wheels catch on the front wing on full cornering.
Now I understand the simple answer is to raise the ride height or cut away some of the wing. This is not what I want to do, so I was thinking that if I fitted a camber and tracking kit sold by minisport, the 1.5 degrees kit, would that bring the wheel in enough to clear the arch, or would it not make any differance?

To clarify it is catching on the front of the wing and I am running 12" 5.5 Minilights with the yokohamas on.

Thanks

Fitting neg camber arms may create other issues.

What you need to do is have your caster and camber checked.and get that right then look at removing wing and A panel as required.
