Jowey Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 £20's a good price.. rolling the arches is just rolling the lips back in on themselves though ( so more for when the wheel fouls the arch lip)you want your arches pulling so they cover the tops of the tire treads.I wouldn't go getting arch work just yet though chap, coils + camber shims first and chances are they'll tuck in or at least look very tucked in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) there are a lot of different variablesthe expensive ones, Camber PLATES sit on top of the strut mountsthese then allow adjustment of the strutthe cheapo's Camber SHIMS are just angled peice of steel that sit on top of the strut mount. these allow for no adjustment Edited July 31, 2008 by Jowey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ah yeh ok cheers, so cambershims for the rear or for front too? Will check goog out for prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Camber shims fit between the rear stub axel. They dont fit between the top mounts like the adjustment plates do.If you want to dial in some front camber then this can be adjusted from the lower fixing points on the suspension leg.

heartagram Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 If your paying so little attention that a wheel thats sticking out of the arch by about 10-20mm is enough to run you over you to fu-cking right deserve it. You should be watching where your going, not wondering into the side of cars.Its a stupid law if you ask me.I would take them off even if they are legal cause they look ridiculous at standard ride height. I actually LOL'd when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 When I looked into it, the (confusingly worded) laws and guidlines made it sound like you were allowed 30mm of poke from outside the arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 coilvers = £210wage = £270whats the problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPS Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mine stuck out more when it wasnt lowered!With the fronts camber can be added when fitting coilovers by pulling the bottom on the wheel out then tightening the locating bolts (as they have a sliding slot on them) I didnt get pulled after it being lowered.deff way to go!!

DarkStryder360 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 ah righty, I am back.. From where I don't know..Deffo looking at coilies now then, cheap and cheerful, and hopefully adjustable is what I am after. Coilies for 210, hit me up! I am ready for it LOLCamber can be applied to the fronts, like that? Sounds easyish. I need anything else but the coils?Also the rear camber, I am looking for shims, how much will that bring the tyre away fron the arch? If it doesnt do enough I will have to get custom arches made as I went to a local guy who could arch pull, but he was a complete **** about it, swearing unnecessarily, really uncomfortable, saying he wouldnt touch it for 800quid. I then laughed and said thanks, bye... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 im looking into camber shims also, you can get them for about £20 pair!glad you have given into coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) you need some .. EZ shim they come in 1.5 deg each so stack 2 sets up on each rear wheel and get prepared for terrible turn in and you can easily tuck the tops of your wheel right under if you run silly camber however you will change tires more often then yer knickers Edited August 12, 2008 by Jowey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) 1.5 degrees cool thoThe coilys will naturally throw the front camber out so that should be safe.Tuck,Poke,Rake ftw. tbqfh imo Edited August 12, 2008 by ricoshay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
