That would be good, tracking needs doing on my 4x4 sapph, so anything that would make it better for road use (all standard suspension, rear beam, etc...) would be of great help.
PS: Other than tracking, not sure what can be altered if all standard though

I think as absolutely standard all you can adjust is the front toe ( tracking ). I think in order of expense it would be........washers/shims to adjust the rear toe and caster. Next up, front adjustable TCAs to adust the front camber. After that, probably cutting out the front strut tops for caster/camber plates ( front camber and caster )....and then a rear adjustable beam for camber....or toe and camber

Was helping a mate fit some AP's to his 3dr tonight so i thought i would check his ARB. I found H13 stamped into the offside end of it - does this mean its just a standard original 3dr ARB?

Problem you will have with your wheels is that if you switch to a H14 they will possibly rub the splitter/front bumper. Even with standard wheels my H14 was really close, and I swapped back to a H13 to centre the wheels better in the wheel well on my 3dr.

Its said somewhere in this topic, the H14 ARB's push the front wheels further forward and create more castor. Tony @ turbosystems says it was a recall on the 3dr.
