jammy Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Cool mate.pretty sure both are adjustable as the bottom control arm where the spring sits also has them concentric washerror type bolts  Though it always thought that something that was camber adjustable at the rear would be done higher up..they have funky banana arms which is the top arm but I haven't got round to looking ato what fixings they have been it normal nut and bolt or concentric washer type 👀 concentric or essentric which ever they are 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I have raised the rear by 15mm which makes it sat at 350 mm hub centre to arch.. Â A surprising difference in the cars handling and it's behaviour..steering wheel still twithese a lot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 15mm has massive effect on the roll centre......Golden rule is to keep all the wishbones/ fourlinks and alike horizontal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah I have read that before..spacers are also off now too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Moving them alone will help the tyre wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah bits the tyre wear that's bothering me...last thing I need right now is to have to replace all 4 but I do have another set of wheels with good tyres but they are on another car so need to find for axle stands to leave it on so I can brig them with me for George or even drive up on them and save my current ones as they are on the best of the wheels I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 JUstinov new out for a little hack out in the country testing my new headlight bulbs put and tbh I was able to have a good bit of fun in the old boot for a change.

Tony Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Right some numbers.... Due to the height I've based the numbers on the VXR.  Rear Camber -2 degrees 7' Toe +10' each side  Front Camber -1 degree 5' Castor: Not adjustable so high is good providing there's no more than 45' difference between them Toe +5' each side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Booked in for 11.30 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 All done..so far so good .the tech took it for a drive and his only comment was that it that it don't like roads with any great camber..  The guy had a cheeky grin when he got back from a test drive 😅 he was surprised how quick the car is 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Superb result finally...I assume they set it as a VXR?..... The road camber does make some cars pull, to counter this we stagger the camber which means NSF has a little more and the OSF has a little less.

jammy Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Yes mate set as a vxr I will upload the final result when it let's me..  My camber is  -1°26 left -1°29 right    This was the front camber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nice and close numbers....Is that the front or rear and did they sort the rear toe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Have tech issues regarding getting the picture off my fone so far so good but not hit a bypass or a motorway yet so our road trip today will soon show what's what..   When I get new tyres I will be coming to wim to get the set up checked and adjusted accordingly    Happy easter all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
