kiwi328i 118 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 Best dish for the money I reckon. Maybe the offsets are different enough for a difference in feeling behind the wheel, esp if they weigh approx the same? Compacts at the best of time look a bit high from the rear, because tbh the ride height is hardly at 4wd height, and it looks like it still needs to come down a tad, but some camber will help too. Will look the tits once those jobs are done. You cant complain for the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) so does this mean you gotta get a new cert ? :/ Probably... but I'm going to have to get another one anyway (3rd one) when I do the rear camber / toe kits, rear bushes, drop the rear another 20-30mm,reshorten the rear shocks, solid lower outers and adjustable top hats in the front. I thought I might have gotten pinged when I got my WOF a couple of weeks ago because my LVV plate doesn't have my new PP on it, just the old rego number.

BTW: I have approx -2' negative camber now... front & rear It has more to do with the width of the rim and how the the tyre is seating. Your AC's are 8.5's aren't they? These are only 8" wide so you have made quite a change. These rims sit in about 8mm on the outside and a further 5mm on the inside compared to the old ones. In effect you have changed the track and this may explain why you are feeling so many differences. Edited June 17, 2010 by zenetti Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
