Ohhh my god

I kew it would increase the camber. I know the for the racer boys its not a lot.

But this for a roadgoing 5 is really seriuos. Its had timer to settle dríven about 50k's also looks like its running toe in at the front when you take a closer look.

No Stan - that's even heaps for us. Max camber I've ever used myself was -5neg but normally -4 will do it - for slicks! 8)

hey freddy......its yours for $15k.....comes with the car.... :lol:

but in all seriousness.....Can't recall the guys name. some famous Rally driver who desingned it. I think it may have been the first body kit avail for the 5 after its launch in 1989. The lip was on the car when I bought it.

Not driiving the car a real lot until the steerinmg & allignment is fixed correctly. It would have to be chewing up the tyres big time.

i think I'll settle for max of -1.75 camber 7 some toe out. at the front.
i think i've settled down a little so I don't think -2.5 camber is required any more

Hey Stan what wheels are those?

I remember you had NB8B wheels on your car but from that angle they look like DC5 wheels :?:

Rob......It was the group buy organised by mickfred. It was the whole offset Superpro kit. This is the dodgy day we had all the bushes were replaced.
Stan's dodgy day with not many pics
There is no Part No as far as I know for the whole set. However i have to find the packet & lock at the part No's.

This is the whole kit.

mania sell the kit for $640. You can purchase the fron't or rear kits seperately. Or even indiviually.
