Hi guys/girls,

i need some things done/looked at for my car.

ive taken it to a few workshops before, but im not really comfortable with there knowledge on the Rb series motors.

I'd appreciate it if someone could point me the direction of a respectable workshopwith knowledgable staff, so far im thinking Advan (can you please PM any experience you've had with this work shop). im located in syd inner-west, im not really looking at getting anything major done right now (possibly in the near future though), just some major servicing and a few mods. id prefer to have one work shop work on my car, rather then a few. it will also need suspension looked at/aligned.

thanks in advance.

ps. i hope this doesnt break the rules, and please leave negative comments to yourself.

So...you read the other thread, did a search etc - so what did or didnt you find?

theres ALOT of info on here for workshops in NSW and Sydney.

Search for unigroup. Link in my sig.

if you read the sticky thread you would have noticed this bit...

All threads asking for advice on which workshop to go to will be locked and the thread starter pointed to this thread. Good luck with your modifications, just remember that hard research will increase this "luck".

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • 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)
    • 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.
