Camber brackets are on.

Handling is good.
I'd say theyre set at about 1-2 degrees.
Now i need to get the front negative, and she'll be right.

Pics to follow.

Hey Will are they adjustable ones on the rear

Aparently they go loose if they aren't done up tight enough but I'm sure you would have checked them :lol:

Don't talk to me about loose things :shock: :lol:

Um yep Stuwey... it pulls in nicely but needs proper setting up i reckon.
Theres something to it.
Might be the tyres.
I'll see what its like with my new wheels & tyres. (whenever they happen)
