..how much do them lead weights cost
with the MYtyres price Total VAT included: £ 171.60 thats £200 sheets

Lot of places putting their prices up lately due to the fact so many people are ordering off the internet and they are missing out on the sales.
If you hunt about though and find a secondhand tyre place, they are normally ran out of basic industrial units and have less overheads etc and are happy to do it for a fiver a rim cash.

via mikes reports these specs are the best for 4x4 cosworths
Don't set it up to Ford figures anyway, as it will wander all over the place.
Front:
Camber: 1.5° negative
Toe-in: 2mm overall
Caster: As close to 3°30 as you can get.
so as with new spanky tyres..there hunter system can set the car to the SPECS above
..
tbh pondering what to do..leave them to set it up...
or give them the specs above to apply to the car
fucking cars

Not adjustable, but you want:
Camber: As front
Toe-in: 3mm overall.
just looking at the car specs
the Rear Hubs are shimmed to correct inherent toe problems under power. so this might fuck it all up as well
oh for a quiet life....

It depends on how the car is used (and where - e.g. mainly motorways / country roads / track).
A reasonable compromise would be:
Front:
Camber: 1.5° neg
Toe: 2mm toe-in (overall)
Caster: 3°30'
Rear: 1.5° neg
Toe: 2-3mm toe-in (overall)
Bearing in mind the rear is not adjustable, so has to be done with shims or slotting the holes and the welding washers to secure it in the correct position.
my hubs are shimmed so thats a start
