Should look better! Spacers are one of my favourite mods.

I'm running 20mm fronts, 10mm rears so it's essentially the same stance as @Dr Jekyll's. But those rears are going to be looked at this weekend

Yeah, it's not too bad really! The arch gap isn't huge, and this is a nice stopgap until I can afford Bilsteins. Very! Cheers Mark

I wouldn't have either

Thank you for the kind comments :smile: I'm very happy with how it looks on the 2118's. It's a nice height on the cooksports, but could always do with going lower ;)

-2 camber, 12° Total Toe out

Made the journey down south over the weekend and the car felt great. Will update properly later, but I got the 2118's fitted and it feels great with fresh rubber! Spent all day on sunday polishing the car with the DA, but no proper photos as I was in a rush towards the end. Some photos after the...

The car feels great as is, but obviously the rear is reducing the overall feel. I'm yet to sort it out at the back, but for now it's great. Only expecting better once the backs sorted.

I like the idea of having it in the wing mirror, pretty neat. The only problem is that you're only flowing air that's the same temperature as outside. If it's hot, you're flowing hot air. I get that a lot of time it's just the feed of air that you want though. Could have done something...

Brilliant

I'll get the shims off on Wednesday night then have a look at getting it back onto alignment. I won't do any harm running as is? Just a slightly odd tyre wear? I won't be doing thousands of miles before I get it sorted anyway.

I'm sure you'll be fine mate

Best wait to make sure you're not banned before arranging anything ;)

I have recently just fitted 10mm spacers on the backend, but they were 2nd hand. I checked and I'm sure they didn't have any camber, surely it'd be fairly obvious? The edge would visible chamfer off? Thanks for the help so far everyone. I've got a stub on the way too.

Could be timing related though. Sounds that way.

I'm going to give them a call on monday and let them know that it's still pulling and get it back on to be checked next weekend. If I can get a new stub on in the meantime that's perfect. Surely having the front toe perfect along with the camber means that the problems at the rear 100%

Yeah i've seen it's fairly common as they're old cars, usually with chavs for PO's haha. I just want it all to be right, and not 'bodged'.

I'll get it measured up tomorrow to see what the score is. I hope it's just a bent stub axle, as that's cheap and easy. I presume i'll be getting uneven tyre wear with it like this? Travelling to london tomorrow...

On thinking, that disc did seem to take a little persuasion to come off the stub, related? The little spacer behind was also bent in slightly.

Just been out washing the car and you're right, it is quite noticeable to the eye. To be honest i've never really looked before but the car has always felt a little 'odd' handling wise. Kind of squirmy in the rear under breaking, but i put it down to the budget tyres. What is the best way to...

If you need pics im happy to grab you some.

Well I just got back after my aligment and it's good and bad news. All went smoothly and I got -2 front camber and -12 total toe out, but both were new parts so easy enough. The rear however is a bit of a problem, it apears to be our pretty badly? I'm still getting a slight pulling left...

Nice update Mark. Just be careful with the paint on the rubbers as it can often lead to them splitting. Will be great with the PMS top mounts fitted. Cure your OCD ;)

allcartyres. Brad hasnt been able to fit me in this weekend as he's racing and i'm going to london on sunday night so want it right.

Great read. Thanks Dan

What are the effects of more or less toe?

Soo I'm going for tracking on Saturday. - 2 camber and 10 mins toe out a good idea? Or slightly more tour out? 12 mins?

Thought you got these from proplates mate?
