Ok thanks again. I need to learn more!

Me again!!! Just had a thought was wondering why my thrust angle has gone up? It was at 0 02 back in the end of 07, it's now is 0 06. I was thinking could the rear arb have done this over time? I now have it on the softest setting which i prefer,but did have it on middle setting for a while.

Ok thanks for that, i will be in touch soon to book it in.

Ok thanks, though am down in the south west (Devon) so a 6hr round trip at least, but im happy to do that, but i may not be able to get to you until next month. Sorry to ask as i know it will be hard to say, but roughly what sort of cost would i be looking at? Many thanks again.

So where do i go from here??? Feel like i've hit a dead end! any ideas? Shall ill pop up with the car and you do what you can? Do i need to get camber adjustable top mounts? Thanks.

Thats a point?

These seem to be the most common ones- http://spcalignment.com/PROD_DIR/SPC_PROD_...81340&cmd3=

You can get camber top mounts, dont know if this will be enough adjustment though -/+ 1? Do you think making the rear arb a bit softer will help things slighty? Thanks. Just had a thought their is slight adjustment in the lower ball joint too.

Just been told it is mechanical/hydraulic system! I knew i should of brought a Honda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im lost now.

Yes it has eps but no yaw control afaik. I dont think the power steering can be adjusted through vag-com on the mk1 though, i will check on briskoda.

Not sure about the rear, i know there is shims avaliable from Spc performance from +1 to -5.

Ok i will try, it corners flat but feels like lack of front grip when turning in and feels unsettled to the point where you feel as if it will break away. To me the steering seems to light and nervous and im finding it hard to drive with any confidence. Hope im not confusing you?

Ok thanks, so where do i go from here? I would like to optimize the cambers to get it down from 24', is there adjustment for this or will i need to buy a camber kit? Do you think you could make an overall improvement to the way the car drives from looking at the geo report? Thanks again.

Well i've had a alignment check done, seems i have gained some negative camber as expected but not as much as i'd like on the front. My front toe is out, one wheel has toe out other toe in, they said was my steering wheel straight to which i replyed yes, they said no point in changing the toe then as this would make the steering wheel off center? So nothing was done. Geo reads as follows- Front camber- left -0 40 right - 16 rear camber- left -1 32 right -1 30 Front toe- left -1.3 right 1.2 total -0.1 Rear toe- left 1.2 right -0.1 total 1.1 Castor- left 7 53 right 7 50 Thurst angle 0 06 What do you make of this? my camber seems well out from one side to another on the front!

I see thanks for explaning that, i should be getting alignment done today so will get a geo report i will post it up.
