Got some new pictures the other day, came out better than all of them so far. Also the car starred in a little movie we made on the two cars that attended the shoot.

Negative camber looks the business but in all honest for daily driving its a pain in the ass!

You get through tyres for fun too which is very costly these days.
I was running negative camber on my GTI for a couple of months and it handled amazingly with my coilovers but I got through a set of Yokohoma S Drives in 1500 miles :)

Got some camber shims for this the other day, Dont ever waste your money on them. They are cheap horrible plastic pieces of s**t.

Ive decided to put a couple of washers on the bottom two bolts to kick out the wheels for about 2-3 degree camber, a bit more tuck :)

I used to have silly camber a month later I also had chords showing on my brand new tyres :-)

Looks awesome just not practical.

Ah its only subtle camber, Been about for a a fair amount of time now and still no wear!

Ive made sure the tyre pressure is just lower than normal, meaning they dont run on that single part.

It was very easy yes, I just used washers on the bottom two stub / hub bolts. Worked a treat.

For me as stated below, no worries so far, and if anything its more practical because there's no more arch scrub!
