yeah, that's what my mechanic has told me - the offset bolts can adjust + / - 1.75 deg, which should be enough. If not I can add these bushes later, and then the adjustable element of the bolt can be reset I guess.


PS - I parked next to a stock version of my ' Sport  today :) :) :) !!


Bet you wished you had a digital camera :D I like the sound of the A arm bushes, more difficult to fit but they would help reduce the rather severe angle of the stock wishbone with the lift kit fitted. When I fitted my lift I took the Vit to the local 'stop and steer' centre, they checked the toe-in/toe-out which was OK but they didn't know how to use their very expensive equipment to check the camber and didn't know what it should be anyway :( :(

I've found a good looking eccentric bolt from Monroe called Monroe Magic Camber at about $20/30! but can I find a supplier in the UK??!!
All the local tyre shops aren't interested in camber issues, you can see the shutters go up over their eyes at the very mention of it!
There's got to be a market for such an eccentric bolt and A arm bush package for anyone doing a spring & spacer type lift - I'm suprised the lift kit manufacturers haven't cottoned on - with other manufacturers making the parts there can't be any type approval issues.

OK, so I've found a supplier of speciality products in the UK - the bolts cost £17.50 a pair + P&P £4.50 - the monroe magic cam bolts do the same thing, at £54 incl P&P  a pair from Australia!  I may have to add the offset bushes as phase 2 later.
