yey! great stuff!

Yeah thought about that aswell mate but definatly not had a shunt done all the checks possible and no signs anywhere of previous damage. When i say its rubbing i mean only just and only on bad bumps porbs another 2-3mm clearance and there wouldnt be an issue. Thanks for trying to help me out mate.

Thanks mate i thought about that but i think its the difference in neg camber thats causing the issue. I dont know why they would be different though because there is no shims or anything fitted.

I just got some 20mm hubcentric spacers for the rear of laurens car and fitted them yesterday and one wheel is rubbing on the rear arch. Just to put you in the picture we are running 7x16" wheels with et 35, and 195/40/16 toyo`s, with the adjusters out on fk coilovers. Now stright away the rear drivers side was rubbing on some bumps etc. So today i tried putting the adjusters back in and still the rear drivers side is rubbing on the odd bump etc. The weired thing is even with the adjusters out the passenger side had no rubbing at all and really i want the spacers on with the adjusters out because it looks just right and i was finally happy with the stance. Then i noticed there seems to be a bit of cross camber on the rear because you can see by eye that the passenger side has a bit more negative camber than the drivers side which i think is causing the drivers side to rub. When you feel under the arches you can feel there is probs around 5 -10mm difference in clearance between the two sides, between the tyre wall and the arch (the arches are rolled by the way). Now to make things even more strange i have looked at the alignment chart from the previous owner that was only done on 03/10/10 and its saying the passenger side rear has -1.19 camber and 2.9mm toe and the drivers side has -1.28 camber and 5.6mm toe so there for the side that is rubbing according to the chart has more negative camber than the side that is`nt but by looking you can clearly see that it has`nt?? I have tryed everything i can think of but to no avail. Has anyone any ideas because this is winding me up no end Your help would be very much appreiciated guy`s thanks very much baz.

Yeah that will probably of been my wife.

I am live near maryport now mate but origanly from workington. If you live around here you will probs av more chance of knowing my old cars more tham me. Had a couple of cars that where fairly well known around this area including a certain black civic type r like that i bought brand new and spent an absolute fortune on.

Thanks very much mate. I did`nt like the white rims either to be honest so thought i would try something a bit different. Just got some spacers cheap so gunna give them a go see what it looks like. I will post some more pics up when ive got them on tommorow. I will certanlly let you know first if/when lauren decieds she wants a change.

voted its close! good on them for donating the cash to charity, hope they win

The ktm is a bit of a beast to be honest mate probs a bit to much. Nice bike though with all the extra`s brembo, wp etc. The kxf is a lot nicer bike to ride whether it be a 250 or 450. The ktm just try`s to eject you at every chance it gets

Thanks very much mate. I think the front needs to come down just a tad but dreading it to be honest because they look siezed pretty bad. I will just give it a go and see what there like if i cant move them i suppose it`l after stay as it is.

Thank You I am a lucky girl Lauren .x.

Lauren`s gti (the wife).

Lovely bike! Probs make my k8 feel like a moped.lol
