For me it's all about not wearing the inside if the tyres out in a few months.

My cousin's, (pro mechanic), fitting the control arms before I go to Centre Gravity on the 05th Feb to have the geometry set up. Always good to see Chris the owner, he's a great chap and knows his stuff.

+1

I still run increased camber for the track, but better to have adjustable so you can tweak it to whatever you want.

Anyway, RIV bought one of the sets I have left over from the group purchase and I sent them yesterday Special Delivery so he should get them today.

So you've had to fit a new upright as the old one fractured, I wonder if lowering the car cauld be attributed to the failure?

I don't believe so, there was an old crack that finally went. The car is 7 years old so I expect some wear and tear as I Nurburgring the car once or twice a year so 5 to 10 laps. This kills weak stuff off.
All fixed now though and ready for a new experience with the latest mod.

Vroom vroom !

Good to hear you sorted the fitting. Tyres should indeed last longer.
