Cheers SB and Cheers to IZZFE WAGON for making this happen

I was bored on the weekend, so after waxing the rolla.. * i think i have RSI* i might as well go along the cooling DIY phase and go that one extra bit further.. .... thanks to our main man in perth *sportivo turbo styles :toast: * for the inspiration :clap:

I don't have a dremel, nor do i have common sense... but a file, a drill and some black shoe polish finished the job up :yahoo:

You should try as much to have your fronts on a neutral camber, that is, like so | |

You can have a SLIGHT negative camber

like this / \ It does sharpen turn in, but too much negative camber shreads the inside of your tyres.

If they're like / / or \ / Have a wheel alignment done asap, as again it will cause un-even tyre wear and also affects your steering.

The rear has no camber adjustment.
