?? No mate, tell me more?

Ok mate,
Your existing camber is set to match your existing suspension and ride height,
Your existing rear camber is not adjustable,
So when you lower the ride height your rear camber will be off,
Resulting in uneven tyre wear on the inside wall and less road to tyre contact on the rear wheels.

By fitting adjustable rear camber bolts the alignment of the rear wheels can be adjusted to achieve proper even tyre wear aswell as optimum grip and improved handling all for 30 pounds. Thats quarter the cost of an 18inch tyre

Eibach recomend getting laser alignment carried out on your car after lowering to realign the wheels to match the ride height aswell as headlight alignment for optimum experience.

Eibach rear camber bolts are model specific and the kit linked is for all mk2 and mk2.5 hatch back ford focus from 2005-2011

Here is a link to purchase:

Here is an image of what to expect to recieve:

Excellent news Gav,
Looking forward to seeing the results mate,
Don't suppose your work mate wants to drop over to me in may for a repeat of what tomorrow entales with your motor
.......I make a good cup of tea ? lol

Hi Liam, yes mate definantly worth it mate, they cost £30 off eBay (Lenny has kindly posted a link earlier in the thread) and will save you two more rear tyres!! Needed to set the camber when having the wheels laser aligned, which mine is booked in for on Monday.

Hi Lenny, lol think it might need more than a good cuppa to convince him

Garage wanted £200 to fit springs, he's doing it for £100 so I'm quids in and I trust him to do the job which he's done many times before!

Don't delay with the pictures today mate,
Also please tell me the profile of your tyres,

[Gavc]

Here's a pic of my car lowered by 30mm, think it really sets it off


Handling is greatly improved, gave it some stick round a few corners and roundabouts this morning on the way to work, stuck to the road like s**t to a blanket!! Lol

Wheel and camber alignment booked in for Saturday.

Will get some more and better pics uploaded later this week.

Lenny my tyre profile is 225/40/ZR18

Great news Gav,
Thanks for the tyre size aswell, I now know what profile I require when purchasing tyres.
Look forward to more pictures of yours when you get the time.

Cheers Liam, yeah it will do mate

No probs Lenny, when are you hoping to get those wheels on?

Lol thinking of the next mod now?!!
Don't know if it should be the gloss black front grilles or the colour coded fog surrounds??

Purchasing second two rims 14th march then tyres on 4th April
But waiting to lower and fit tyres same day so will be around the 9th May or that weekend following the 9th

Id go with gloss black fog surrounds aswell as grills but each to their own.

[liam-20]

Hey gav could you do me a favour plz would you measure the gap between the top of the tyre and the bottom of the wheel arch I've had mine checked a few times but the passanger side seems to sit hight then the drivers side.
