my bolts only go to about -1,5 degrees, nowhere near 3 degrees! they were bought from kam racing btw! car was ok when standard (no issues with the geometry)
maybe they give around 2 degrees on non cup suspension as the bolt spacing is different
I did some work on the arches but now I found out that I'm gonna have to cut some of the metal under the arches as the wheel lightly rubs on it too
I also have a thread on how I did the arches if you're interested mate
1 degree negative is ok though, will be better for tyre wear if you do a decent amount of motorway journeys. however that was one of the reasons I didn't wanted coilovers with built in camber adjustment. I had my camber bolts on the std shocks and already knew they will give me the desired angle
at 1,5 degrees being positive or negative it's easy to notice when looking from the front straight at the wheels. The cheap K-tec coilies have built in camber adjustment, just go to someone who knows what he's doing and get the tracking done like tony earlier said, 1,5 negative and 1mm toe out...
yeah it does! 1,5 positive is insanely wrong! if you got camber bolts you can correct this
what coilies are you running? quite lazy to go back couple of pages :D
I'd do the same tbh. the 182 looks good with that tyre size. or maybe go to 15" like many did and run 195/50 tyres, they will be a little smaller but not too much. For me though, 16" is the best compromise between looks/practicality/performance so I'm keeping them. If you're planning to do...
Are you sure that is 60 mm lower on the front? Mine rubs on the wheel arches and it's 25 mm lower (in the front) on gaz coilies.
I wouldn't go lower than 40 mm in the front as there will be a lot of stress on the drive shafts
I'm running 1,5 degree negative on the front (camber bolts) and 1mm...
80% of occasions the CC works fine but sometimes it's reversing the controls of the buttons.
For example if I press "R" the speed increases or if press "+" the cruise control disengages, or any other combinations like those mentioned
Has this ever happened to anyone as I tried to do a search...
any expert opinion on this? I'm not leaving mine to idle unless there's a thick layer of ice on the screen and need the heat to get it off
so leave it idle for 1 min or not?
you could also have a bent rod, I had this on my firs set of std shocks. front left side had about 1 degree negative because of that. camber bolts won't tilt the shock that much
