Gavc Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Lenny, can't wait myself mate :) ?? No mate, tell me more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Lenny, can't wait myself mate :) ?? 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: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230625566464?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Here is an image of what to expect to recieve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
