If I did near enough have to replace all my shocks id come but with all the extras my car needs just to get running it only leaves me with enough cash spare for llandow petrol insurance food and just incase fund home, combe nearly doubles what I have to spend and with these extras needed its impossible for me

shame about the weather. glad its cornering well for you now. my rear camber is -3degrees and tyre wear is pretty even with slight shoulder wear but not too bad. rear feels great though at that camber. what is your camber now?
