After much deliberation I've decide to replace my stock seats with a new set of these (in the colour shown) -

item.asp?pg=RD&id=DAY&opt=RERE1

If anyone is after a set of stock GTS25t seats give me a yell. Mine are in good nick (some wear on driver RHS).

Matt, have you checked out the Sparco Torinos? I checked out the cobras a while ago when i was buying seats and wasnt real impressed with the lateral support, i felt that the support bolsters were far too soft when compared to the recaros or sparcos. The cobras i looked at were on the floor at eurotech on port rd. I think they were daytonas.

The Torinos also come in the colour scheme you want :)

I didn't look at many Sparco seats to be honest. I 'was' going to get a set of Recaro SR's (not in tan leather though :) ) but they're pretty common these days, not to mention a tad too pricey! The new Cobra Daytona series is a big improvement on the earlier stuff. The seat fabric is better quality too.

G'day Mike,

No photos mate, but from Thursday on you can have a look at them in the flesh, & if you want them they're yours for...... say $350. Both seats are in very good condition.

I also have a set of early style Recaro's with rails, also all in good condition. Asking $600ono for the pair.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
