Thanks for that Ian :)

I'll get that checked out ASAP

I did go to Chemix to have all that checked out, but because they use a laser to measure it, they couldn't measure it because the front bumper was in the way :(

Big toe eats tyres although a little can be good for better turn-in, your car will also come from the factory with some that Vauxhall call 'negative scrub' which increases stability at speed or in the event of a blow out IIRC, been a while since I read the stuff but I think that's correct!! :)

Yeah Ian, I was told to get a pair of "Rose jointed bottom arms so I could adjust the camber thingy :D

Don't mean to be acting dumb, but what is the toe?? :look:

Thanks Ian :thumbs:

Could be toe, camber isn't adjustable without an ecentric top mount or adjustment where the damper meets the hub carrier.

Was the toe checked when you lowered it?

If your camber is like this / \ it'll wear your tyres out quicker yes??

But considering I've only had the car a while and it hasn't been driven much, would that wear the tyres out this much?



It's only really started wearing out this fast after it came back from FFWd :mad:

Any sugestions? (Apart from gettin new tyres, :P )
