Friday's no good for me as I've got a work BBQ, so it's tonight, or the weekend. I'll be helping the missus move house, but I'll be in the area, as she's moving not too far from me.

Oh and I can lend you a breaker bar and speed brace along with the right socket for wheel nuts too. Should make the job quicker if you can both do tyre changes at the same time. With enough practice we might even shape you in to the SAU-SA pit crew. :)

Sam, tried to call your mobile but to no aval. Anywho, got the extra set of car stand - thanks go to Ash and Darren, cheers boys.

No worries fella, anytime! pitty i wasn't home when you came, heard you had a few issues finding the joint...... :)

Will be good to see your line at a much better ride height and handle ALOT better! Next would have to be ECU after the diff your getting?

Nah no stupid cats with us, and i havn't noticed any around, But i do keep the line under a car cover under the carport so it wouldn't scratch mine!

Yes yes it will look identical to mine......... except for that front bar of yours, I should have kept mine.........NOT!

height adjustable mate, u can choose how low u want it. they are currently set at 355mm front and 345mm back (as per Sydneykids setting), i used to have it set 330mm front and back, but had to raise it for the bodykit. btw the spring rates on these are pretty solid, sort of like your old sileighty, so hope u dont mind the solid ride :P

So how'd you go over the weekend fellas...

...and more importantly when do i get my tools back? :)

all went well... except for a certain nut that got snapped and nearly drove me and Duc crazy :) thanks to Andrew and Darren for dropping over to help out.

was funny when Darren dropped around and Duc was tightening up wheel nuts, and Darrens like.. "is that my wheel brace?" he must have picked it up from you and Darren didnt know :) ah, u had to be there i guess.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
