Hi, i have a 1988 Jet black and am going to buy some wheels for it monday which are 13x7. I put on Fully adjustable Camber arms and Toe bars today and was wondering how do you set these up to give a suitable -neg camber and toe in/out. For now i have just eyed them up standard to the ones i took off. Any help would be greatfully appriciated. Thanks Kyle

I think you need specialist equipment to do it propperly, or you'll wear your tyres funny.

If you book your car into a wheel/tyre place they set them up with laser stuff. (Like those laser levels you see advertised on tv)

As above, you need a specialist to set them up properly... and that's not kwikfit type place, you need a proper specialist, look for motorsport type places in your local area...

With adjustables, you are not only affecting the camber and trancking but also all the other suspesion component geometry, and the last thing you want it to be is a shopping trolley...

There are a few 'DIY' ways of doing this - all are a bit sus though and you cant beat using the (accurate) proper gear.

I've a load of Dunlop stuff that i use for such work - often can be found on ebay, but the cost of it can be shocking..

as above: find a decent garage\crash repair centre or motorsport place and get them to set it up.

TTFN,
Dave

just beware of the 13x7's they make the car tramline an awefull lot!! 12's like the 1's in ur pic will make the car handle lots better! but i guess after a setup it mite not be so bad, i just hope u got some good quality rear brackets and not cheap ones or u may have a bit of trouble!
