Got STANCE? (Pic Heavy)

[SlowLow&Sideways]

i was going to get some of the camber bolts. just to play with and fine tune the front end although I'm tempted to change my whole suspension set up atm haha

camber does look epic.

 

[JoeyD]

Thanks!! It definately is not to everyones taste - and i knew this wouldn't go down too well, but i personally think it does look much better!
It feels much better to drive now too, very very responsive.

Looking better, back needs more!

Back needs more what, Camber?
Definately. Probably more spacing too..
argh£££

 

[Dunn]

good effort mate i like it

 

[yellowbelly]

i've been put off stance and camber since i owned my old Polo Gti totally euro styled, i went through a pair of front tyres in 6 weeks, bear in mind i only could have done a maximum of 500-600 miles in that time, could get expensive.

 

[JoeyD]

Thanks Dunn!

yellowbelly,
You're right!
and i'll probably get sick of this very quickly.
But the front tyres that came with the wheels are not in that great shape, so i'm not too fussed if they die quickly.
and i can always adjust the camber back to normal!

 

[StevieG-09]

How do you adjust it then? isit a wheel off job?

 

[Nafoff]

How many degrees is that Ph-reebone?
I do like those Image wheels TBH
/jealous

thats only about 3 degrees on the rear mate

i am not pushing much camber on mine really but i have not had a problem with the tyres at all really, and the clio was my daily

 

[SteveS Cup]

Completely agree Steve. But i'm 18, and i love my car to be horribley inconvenient at every speedbump etc

i wasn't going for DUB stance BTW, otherwise yes, i've done it completely wrong!
was going for more "Cup Racer Stance"?! :S lol

AH! My bad... I kinda get it now!!!! lol.

I was thinking you were off your tits thinking you had a great "stance" which I always refer to my DUB roots!!

Just keep an eye on your tyres mate!

 

[adamlewis01]

Stevie -

I'm guessing it's wheel off, loosen bolts, turn camber bolt to required setting, tighten back up and wheel back on?

 

[JoeyD]

Adam, exactly right.
unless you've got coilovers - in which case you dont really need to twist the bolt, you can just move the bolt along the top adjustment on the shock.
if that makes sense :S

Thanks Ph-ree. i'll bear that in mind. looks like it should equal more. I though that was at least 5 deg's...

haha steve! nahh, i should have mentioned in my opening post really!
Thilly me

the stretch on the tyres help

With these do you need two packs for each side or isit one bolt for each shock? I have Vmaxx coilovers so these will still be okay to use wont they?

 

[JoeyD]

it's one bolt for each shock so you just need one pack!
i've got some cheapo Rokkor coilovers and they appear to be fine - a couple of other users have also got them on their coilovers and they're okay!
so i'd say yeah!

 

[Curtis!]

You could possibly get away with it with mega hard suspension and cutting the lip of the arch out?

Looks good but, impractical!

 

[MikeB]

I like it, however i prefer the dynamique wheels on it.

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, as said - i'm still undecided tbh!

Alex, yes - that would help. might have a go at cutting some bits of the arches away at the weekend - don't really want to make a mess of it though :S

 

[BIFCAIDS]

fit 45 profile tyres (rather than 100* lol) and you wont need the camber bolts.








*slight exaggeration

Will get a pic where my fronts have kinda dissapeared so I just pulled it off when I can.

Lol!
on the bigger wheels?

tbh, i thought they were 45's... :S
i've got 55profile balloon spec tyres on my dynamique wheels like

 

[BIFCAIDS]

sorry lol, they just look fappin massive

 

[JoeyD]

It's the front bumper which is the main problem - the lip is thicker than the arches /:
Is it safe to run without the arch liners Btw?
the cambelt looks worryingly exposed inside the arch!

 

[JoeyD]

sorry lol, they just look fappin massive

nah, it's cool!
Feedback is good trying to figure out why it doesn't quite look like i first envisioned it might...
Won't smaller 40 profiles be big £££'s?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

loads run without arch liners!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

nah, it's cool!
Feedback is good.
Won't smalle 40 profiles be big £££'s though?

yes very much so, what size you running now e.g. 195/45, 205/45...

 

[JoeyD]

205/45 iirc...
that might be it! maybe try 195's...

 

[Curtis!]

It's alright running without archliners but personally something I'd preffer to have having no had any.

Plus...

[BIFCAIDS]

yea or 185's if you can find some, it will give you some stretch (not that, thats what you should have), but stretch will mean theres less chance it will touch.

 

[JoeyD]

lol, remember reading that!
Tbh, there was loads of dirt behind the liners anyway
shows you all the good they do!

do you think it would still need 45 profile?

Can only seem to find 185/50...

 

[Curtis!]

The bodged replica skirts are the same, got loads of crap out with my finger the other day when the front wheel was off. Hate to imagine whats under there!

Easy thing is though the front wings are plastic, unlike the metal rears. Plus you can remove them from the car and replace them if they get messed up easily.

 

[JoeyD]

are you not going to get proper RS wings & skirts now?
remember reading a while ago that you were pricing it up.

Ah, very true!
can the fronts be rolled? with them being plastic and everything.

there's quite a few notches and lips inside the arch that could be flattened too i guess. need to find out where it actually rubs ideally.

 

[JoeyD]

They're definately 45's, Bifcaids.

Can just about make it out at the top...

(excuse the bird poo....)

Wierd, as they do look big!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea i beleived you bud, might just be the tyre brand, different brands have different tyre walls, my Yoko Sdrives have a curved wall so they look even shallower than they are....

(195/45/15 btw)

 

[JoeyD]

i wasn't sure myself tbf
didn't mean it like that! lol

yours do look very small, especially for 195's

i'm going to have to do lots of research, aren't I...
that's alright actually, as I've got lots of saving to do now anyway!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

you also have to bear in mind the width of your alloy to the width of your tyre.

mine are 7" wide

 

[JoeyD]

i believe mine are the same, although i couldn't be certain!

Argh, so much to consider!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

best bet for simple answers is wheel-wh0res







[why is wh0re filtered]

 

[JoeyD]

ahh, the tyre stretch section is handy!
Thanks

 

[dajones]

looks cool

stevie get them ordered so i can try on my car

 

[j111ase]

fit slightly narrower tyres so they stretch a little. this will pull the tyre away from the inner arch giving you a little more clearance so you can have less camber and still stay low.
