Just noticed today that the rear spacers are making the tyres camber so that the top of the wheel comes in, on the bottom is slightly kicked out. Is this common and can i get it so it sits straight by the garage?

Rear wheels always camber ever so slightly due to weight however if it is noticeable then you will need to get it checked out. Is the wheel sitting flush to the hub and the alloy? Have you had full alignment done since your suspension upgrade?

Yours the hub is fine its noticed sinse i put the spacers on. It's not in your face but i can see that ill get uneven wear. i think amd aligned the wheels after puttin on the suspesion kit mayb it needs to be done again if you put spacers on?

Yea they would have aligned it definitely. Check your tyre pressure, should be around 32-33.

I don't think there is anything to worry about. Like i said that it is normal and I have it on my previous set of tyres (Eagle F1s).

Thats good then, it's going back into Amd to get an additional 20mm drop as i wasn't happy with the drop i got. they will be able to straighten it out or tell me it's fine.

If they are going to drop it further then they will do alignment again.

last weekend's motorway griting process spelled the end for my windscreen, so 2am sunday morning i booked the FR in for a new windscreen for monday morning! Windscreen is good as new, which is more than i can say for the panels around the screen! Glue and smears everywhere! it was raining so i didnt notice it until i looked closer 6 hours or so later.

i just wish for once i can get some thing done on my car (or any car ive owned and will own) and not have a nasty surprise. You can't get new rubber for the cars because they will undoubtly ruin your alloys or drop your centre caps, scratching them and just disrespecting your wheels. You can't buy anything from ebay related to your car as it will arrive on your door step 2 weeks later and be for the wrong model, You definatly can not get a yearly service of any kind as it WILL result in unexplanned Scores, swirls and scratches that have magically appeared from some kind of parallel universe because god forbid you mention this to any one! the response will be "Well we only touched the engine mate!". Rant. to be continued when i remember some more examples

Got the suspension sorted out. The original weitec kit i bought had the wrong springs so Amd ordered a new kit and the car was lowered properly today! looking the part now i think.
