Well had the car out today after fetching it back from ford... Been and swapped my front 215/40/17 for 205/40/17 as the drivers side had caught and scuffled the kit...so went and had that repaired... Then new front and rear badges where fitted with the correct colour blue this time... Then went for a drive in the rain...

I always find to really appreciate how clean a car is it has to get dirty
And your jelly mould is looking very nice mat
IMHO though some bbs split rims would look sick
Do you snow foam the underside as well as the topside
Interested in how you go about it even though that sounds like a silly question

Cheers mate... I was going to go BBS.... But every man and his dog has them... So I decided Hock's.
Yes mate when I did the underside I heavily waxed it and now all I have to do is snow foam it and then it's all clean... Nice and easy...

Do u get under there and dry it off at all
I do love the hocks but I just feel this car needs something a little special if ya get me
That's just my opinion of course
Not putting it down in anyway cos that would be impossible

Fart of the Purniture
I have a question about the camber shims if you don't mind?
I know they give a more even tyre wear but do you ever look at your car and think it sits a little odd?
Not just your car but others I have seen photo's of, they look like they have slight positive camber at the rear and of course the car being lowered the front has the look of slight negative.I bought a set years ago and never got around to building up the rear end, I'm not sure about them now, well I haven't been sure for a while.
Then I read a thread somewhere by a greek bloke who had bought some and the toe was all wrong with them fitted too.
What are your thoughts now after having them on for a while?
Otherwise your car is one thousand percent amazing, really nice Sierra

Well I'm not that clued up on camber and wheels setting tbh.... But one thing I do know is the car has better tread wear and a lot more grip than before and when I had the geometry or tracking they said it was bang on... So from my point of view it's an improvement .
Really hope that helps mate.

Un-settled suspension - I should have guessed! I made a bad choice of using that photo for an example. Sorry 
Yeah, I read earlier in the thread how grip is improved and all that and understand that is the whole point of the wedges, just wondered if you like the look of it, I mean I know tyre wear is shit on a lowered sierra but after all these years of seeing countless photo's in Fast ford / Performance Ford, the forums etc ( I too grew up wanting a Cosworth ) of Sierra's with camber at the rear end - without it they look a little strange if you see what I mean?
I think it's just me - I can't get me head round it!
Ignore all this
Thanks for your reply mate.
Once again - A totally awesome Sierra Cosworth

Aye I see what you mean.. And I also love the look of camber on 2wd...but when I'm trying to put 400bhp down they help a lot.
Many thanks and anything I can help you with just ask mate .
