Fitted some eibach pro's to my Ph1 172 a while back. The rear wheels seem to have quite some negative camber on them now. Was wondering how much was normal(anyone got a photo of theres so I can compare) and do I need to/how easy is it to sort it out? Thanks Mat.

So, where do I need to drill? Are there any location that I can use the eye bolts or will it need to be three new holes? Thanks Mat. PS. If it makes a difference this is for a 3 point harness.

Hi, looking at getting a snap-in harness for the occasional track day as I find in fast right hand corners I have to hold myself into the seat using the steering wheel. Just two quick questions: 1) Is it possible to fit the eye bolts to existing locations(i.e. No drilling required)? 2) And if...

Can prospeed post out there exhausts? As I cant get to Cardiff so would rule them out. Mat.

I have got used to the Magnex so as long as it is not louder then its fine, anyone got a comparison? Or decibel figures for exhausts? Mat.

An OE system seems to cost more than these aftermarket ones!

Going to change my exhaust to a stealth one but because I do a far few miles would like the quietest one, which is the quietest one? I currently have Magnex Twin 3.5" Round which they no longer make, if it is quieter than that I will be happy. Thanks mat.

Is it the same with the fronts? The car feels much better just wanting to check. Mat.

Fitted some Eibach Pro's to my PH1 172 and was just wondering how the bottom should sit. The bottom coils(the ones which are very close together) are touching, is this normal for the Pro's? Cheers Mat.

It was just bent all over the shop, it seemed to be fitted fine just wanted to check. Mat.
