CasperGTI Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 One camber shim down, one to go.They take about an hour to do, im in the process of doing a how to for the GTi as you have to cut the shim to get it to fit near the abs sensor.

CasperGTI Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ooops, fitted the front wheels, and the nuts hit the girling calipers. So spaced them out by 5mm. So now 7.5j et 13!Cars booked in for rolling, pulling and flaring of the arches in a week or so. These will look ace when ive got the stance right!Few more pics of camber and stance before the archwork!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 After the arch rolling, the rear needs to come down a tad.Can't wait to see what you do with them BBS are common, but still rock when you do the right thing with them.I need to have more ideas for the next set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Is that for a pair of shims james?I got mine from a place called ballance motorsport, They were about £7 Each. They are SPC Aligment EZ Camber Shims, Blue.If you dont go crazy with camber and toe settings, i cant see it wearing your tyres much quicker. Afterall the lupo back end is rather light in comparison anyway, rear tyres dont seem to wear that fast. Or atleast thats what i seem to find.I havent been on a big drive yet with the settings that ive got on it, only been about 5 miles on them to check for noises. Ill report back when ive been for a drive.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Is that for a pair of shims james?errr... Well it's listed as a kit, but when you go the checkout, it lists it as a single shim? Best avoid them I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
