Briggsybriggs1 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Iv just lowered it 30mm and Is there any adjustment in the standard adjusters ? The pitchers not to good sorry the bubble on the spirt level is on the center off the right hand line I'm guessing the angle is about 5 dregs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 21, 2014 by Briggsybriggs1 Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 On the OEM set up there is no front camber adjustment however there is adjustment on the rear. Alex. 1 Quote
KyleR Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Just get the Eibach arms, it's worth the £180 to stop your brain from exploding trying to get it close to right with the OEM adjustment. 1 Quote

ZMANALEX Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 If your car is OEM and not lowered and your front camber is outwith manufacturer's specification, then the underlying issue should be fixed before you fit correction arms. if the issue is on the rear then the oem adjusters should dial your camber back to within spec. providing there is nothing bent or worn.

Alex. yep just dropped it 30mm sorry missed that bit out. But think it's about 32.5mm lower than OEM with the change in alloys and springs . Was hoping I could bring it back with just the OEM set up ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Stu_2424 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I believe if you drop it 30mm then you have to have the Eibach camber rear adjustment kit to be able to bring it back to standard. Adjustable drop links on the front also last longer I believe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The extra 2.5mm is due to wheel size so doesn't affect the suspension, just makes it easier to pick up cigarette papers off the road 1 Quote

Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) What's the best settings to have the camber at after fitting camber adjustment and Toe bolts with a 30mm drop.? Not changed any thing on the front apart front the lowing a springs. And I'm running 20inc rims Thanks for any advice :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited February 13, 2014 by Briggsybriggs1 Quote
Ekona Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 No such thing as best, depends on how you want the car to handle and that will work in conjunction with your other settings. Do you want great handling at the expense of tyre wear, or do you want your tyres to last a long time? Quote
KyleR Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Stick it to 1.5 degrees camber and as little toe in as possible. Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 Stick it to 1.5 degrees camber and as little toe in as possible. thanks for that I will get it set up to 1.5. I managed to get it to about 2 degrees my self bout gave up and booked it in to a garage :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Do you want great handling at the expense of tyre wear, or do you want your tyres to last a long time? I was after keeping the tyre were to as little as possible with having new rubbers all round. I don't track the car but love driving on open roads and back roads as well :-) will 2-3 degrees make that big off a difference to the cars handling ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
KyleR Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 2 degrees will be fine for tyre wear, but obviously not as good as 1 degree. I think mines about 3 or so but it'll be around 1.5 when I find a garage that can fit their equipment on my wheels. Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks will post up my results next ween :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
