I went Elites and they did mine fine, although they did want £40 to put in a camber shim on the rear as it was apparently out by 0.03 degrees or something? Gtf

Don't worry about it. If you go get your tracking done at a place near me called Elites they will always say you need to buy them. They are fucking cunts and I refuse to go there :lol:

Understand it a bit better now?


yes mate i understand what they do its just i cannot see it making a big difference they must be only MM's out of the camber using these though surely?:rolleyes:


Its only a couple of mm at the hub/shock joint though, by the time its out to the wheel it can be a massive amount.

I was going to say that but forgot. Camber would be way out from the lowering though anyway. Maybe they cant get there equipment on it to set the tracking?

you dont need them to adjust the toe, thats done by adjusting track rod ends

that dont make sense because you twist the trackrod to adjust the toe, you use those bolts to adjust the camber

i just think they wont do anything i honestly dont think they will make a difference to be honest thats why am :boggle:

coilovers then i would have thought ok...? but shocks and springs?

i they were going to try and charge me 1hours labour (£50 btw) to fit them also :doyle: .....

i told them i would fit them and come back...i've just never hurd of them fitted to shocks with adjustable cambers :|

i was going to get my corsa b Camber set today... the front toe (tracking) and all lazer lined..
it needed done since i changed my car from coilovers to shock and springs + lowered it 80mm allround :)

long story cut short - he said "he couldnt do the toe on the car today because you dont have an adjustable shock are hubs with adjustment bolts" ...?

so i had to buy these:-



will these make a difference on the car because i didnt think you could use these bolts on shocks and springs? i havnt got an adjustable camber like coilovers :look:

like so:-



all new to me? any ideas?? :boggle:

anyone used these before :look:

sorry inadvance :doyle: .....:lol:
