same hear but u dont realy notice as much as i am now im thinkin its because the car as no give it it so it just slides should of got them in the summer as im not sure if the kits right. the camber is a bit out not much but i cant set it as the wheel hits the strut when setting it to - camber and there standerd 15s

fred you still need to get back to me with a price on camber setting etc

lowering too much just f***s the handling completely in my experience, I think mine must have been about 120mm lower than standard as it was practically scraping the floor and running on the bump stops pretty much. I've since had it raised and it handles s**t loads better... though it's still shite as the coilovers I have are pants, but it's safer at least lol.

 

[Fred@BTM]

remind me taylor?? you wanted a full camber and alingment?

 

[GordonD]

If you lower it significantly it shouldn't make the handling worse, well, not unless you lower it right down to the point where its sitting on the bump stops not letting the springs work. But any significantly lowered car isn't going to give you as strong a messages that its close to the limit before it breaks away. It'll get right up to the limit, then suddenly with not notice its sliding.

Which is not to say Fred might find that lowering it has changinged the front end settings enough that it needs to be re-aligned or something to get it back to working right.

Laura, Kwik Fit in Alty can adjust and set the camber up, only round the corner...
