I needed to change the rear bearings so while at it thought I might as well get the stance right. I added some shims I had made with a 1.4 degree camber.
Then I changed the bearings but didn't have a press so had the tap them in with a block of wood and a hammer but worked fine.
I got some 25mm spacers but they were just a tad wide some have opted for 20mm instead and like the stance.

As I use the car as my daily drive I wanted a couple of simple refinements so have added electric windows and central locking and it works great. All in all a very productive day.

Seems ok but had to put the tracks/strings in a strait line to make it work smoothly.

Ah, cheers.

Interesting to see how it lasts!

Been trying to decide whether or not just to keep winders and cut holes in my retrimmed door cards! 

Thanks!

There's a guy on ebay doing them. He advertises them as spacers but will make them howether you would like. Just search camber shims and only one that's aluminium :thumbs:

Should measure slightly different. Or you'll notice bad tyre wear  :lol:

Hopefully it's been seen in the design but best to check.
