Ooh very nice, I've got plans to soon have negative camber on my car too!

Just because you've not taken a picture of any, do you know about needing lengthened track rod ends?

Should have an even nicer stance when you've got this lot on, should look good

Yeah, they've gone on the car along with new steering rack gaiters, all ready for these to be put on now

Good stuff, just thought I'd check for safety's sake You going to set up the geometry yourself or get it done by a man with some lasers?

I'm going to get it all set up by someone who knows what they are doing I think. It saves me faffing around trying to do some I haven't got a clue about

He should be all done by tuesday, so I'll book him in for his MOT later this week....

Hmmm camber...

I could do with getting adjusable arms, my fixed ones give me less camber than the rear atm

[jb93]

Hmmm camber...

I know

Going with -1.5 degrees I think.... not sure though, I don't want him to look overarched....

Collected him this afternoon! I settled on 1 degree negative, and he's now a completely different car to drive...... grippy, grippy grippy

I'll upload pictures when I next clean him, as I'm ashamed at how dirty he is at the moment

Awesome! I think I may have to invest in some negative camber for Mia, how are the benefits compared to the standard set up? You have 12x6? I can't believe 12x5.5 would feel that different.

Yeah 12x6, can't see 12x5.5 being much different, although it will be the offset that makes the difference I would have thought?

There's just so much more feel from the steering wheel, and you can feel the extra grip he has through the corners as well. The only downside is, it is heavier than before, but I need my arms to bulk up, so I'm not that bothered about that

While the bottom arms were off, the nearside top arm needed a repair kit, all four ball joints were replaced, and I noticed he needed new discs and pads as well.....

Fingers crossed he's all ready for MOT now, it's all booked for next tuesday.

I've got a steering column to put on as well, but I'll wait until it warms up a bit before I do that (yep I don't like the cold )
