From putting my car on the trailer to the wheel aligners the alloy piece of the castor arm had started to bend, basically to dangerous to risk driving the car on. we put this in the vice to check strength and literaly pushed on it by hand and "snap"

dont get me wrong im not bagging GKtech. im a big fan of there stuff, i shouldnt have modified there gear and played around w alloy suspension pieces to start with. just a little upsetting.

i was soo lucky that juzzo had a old set off s14 castor arms (metal) and Gav from garage 48 was nice enough to work his magic into the early morning along w brae, coming up w these lenghtnd and much stronger version of castor arms, did a rough allignment, got 3 hours sleep and went drifting ... once again massive thanks to these dudes, without them i would have been nowhere

also got these, the other spacers where amazing but i got allot of bind and wheel shake, so hopefully these sort it out for now, if they work i will be moving rack forward and using the garage 7 spacers again.

drifting tomorrow hopefully all goes well

massive drift hangover,

clutch is starting to slip in 4th, limo needs to be re- done, and rack has popped its seals..

cars being parked for awhile. along while ...

on the plus side i had fun and wheel shake has gone but im still getting bind...

    • 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.
    • 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.
