Not sure if the camber is adjustable on the strut or you will need camber bolts. Not had much to do with AP.

s**t me I bet handles funny! Get the tracking done ASAP! Did your coilovers come with camber adjustment?

Definately looks like a good couple of degrees of positive camber there!


Op, are they slotted where the two bolts go onto the hub carrier on the car?

Do some proper research into suspension geometry it will help you understand your car better and help you understand that suspension one of the hardest part of a car to engineer. :)

so they arent slotted?
If so, you are going to struggle to get the camber correct. Even if you get camber bolts they are unlikely to take you from where you are to the -1 or -2 you will need to get it to corner well.

There is no point you getting your tracking done until you have a way to correct the camber as when you do so it will alter the tracking.

I would probably try and avoid driving that at the moment, its potentially quite unsafe TBH

sofaboy - you saying they are camber adjustable? just spoke to trax he said £20 for adjusting the coils and camber if its do able and £20 for 4 wheel alignment. that sound alright?

If they are slotted you adjust the camber by undoing both bottom bolts slightly with the car jacked up, then just pull the shock outwards and it will go to maximum negative camber.
Do that yourself before you go down is your best bet, rather than pay them to do that.

yeah £20 for adjusting cambers and get perfect ride height.

Andyk - was going to go for a remap and gain 30bhp but gone low and slow now lol. have K&N and full stainless system, not played with engine yet lol...

You want to loosen them off, and then push the shock away from you, so that the wheel tips inwards. Then do them up while its held in that position.

You should see the disk tip inwards at the top as you do it.

doesnt seem to be slotted to me, are you sure they are the correct ones for the car? That much positive camber is not normal!

Yeah all correct for the car spoke to k ted and he said just adjust the camber because its gone so low the arms not long enough or something :/

Major error!
I meant push the shock inwards not pull it outwards, was going to type about last time you must have unknowingly pulled it outwards as you fitted which gives positive, and then changed my mind and thought I'd keep it simple about what you need to do now, but obviously typed the wrong thing.

Apologies for the confusion.

Its push the shock in towards the engine with the bolts loosened then tighten them up is what you need to do.

Chip - will i be able to sort this problem? from what u can see?

Cant see how far the holes are slotted as they are hidden behind the nuts, but if you cant correct it enough like that then you can always add some camber bolts.

One thing to be aware of is that if you track the car on really sticky tyres, its possible for the bolts to slip, so I dont really like slotted suspension as a rule of thumb, and its why the better makes dont do it this way.

Yes mate, exactly that, then the disk should tip in at the top as you do it, and when you put your wheel back on it should be better than currently.
