LOL - knew Seabook would have something to say on the topic!!

Usher - you planning on tracking your puppy? Otherwise you will hardly notice the benefit of camber adjustment. But it would appear that a DIY job in the top mounts is the best way to go given my experience of late!

Finally... kids... modded cars... we need to get some perspective on priorities!!! Only joking bud... Smile

thats what people keep telling me lol, the kids love the car so i can compain as yet

reason for my front camber is that it understeers too easy and the wheels almost look vertical, wonder how much camber 15mm over on the top mounts would end up in camber deg, i did loosen the top mount bolts and try moving the wheel and it didnt look to be far too much so might just jump in as i can always switch back

i take the car on the track once a year atm but onece i get a better paid job ill be doing it as often as poss, main thing at the mo is getting it right as its hit 70k miles and things are starting to need replacing so thought i may as well do it properly like you have etc start at one end

You can work it out - all in the maths... You want to go easy as you will soon dip the other way and get understeer - particularly if you are stiffening up the rear end....

So when do the kids leave home??? Smile

are you talking 22mm rear torsion bars or the fornt ARB? The rear will make no difference to when you do the camber, but I would experiment with the front before going any further. I would argue that camber would be the last change to the geometry - and if required. Adjustable drop links for one will reduce your understeer by up'ing the load on the ARB... They are very underrated as a mod...

To supply and machine in 304 grde stainless, it came to £45, and that was to take M10 and 1.25 pitch rose joints.

Righto... the front is completed!! Just finished with the new drop links and ARB... Popped the new spacer kit on and I am ready for the wheels. So, here are the final pictures... A BIG THANKS to Seabook, Spike, Simpson and all who helped with resources so far. Really appreciate it fellas...

Here's to the next stage... rear axle re-con, bushes, rear brakes and 'zorst. Third and final stage will be the engine stuff - see how much is left in the kitty after stage 2 first Smile
