I didn't realise you'd lowered your car. What did you use if you don't mind my asking?

H&R Springs for now and will move to coil overs later when there is more choice.

MR RIZK, and how much did you lower the car by in order to get -1.75deg of camber?

As mentioned on the last post first page.

About 15mm front and 30mm rear.

From memory it was -1.5 on one side and -1.75 on the other at the front.

Hope this helps. DavidM You have the Excede correct ? If so PM me please as I need to ask you a few questions.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks for the info ... I must have missed the post on the previous page. Though, it looks like dropping the car 15mm produces (about) extra -1deg of camber. That could be worthwhile looking into as it may be easier and more benefitial then the camber-kit at the front. I'll have to look into that.

Though, I am curious as to why you would lower the car more at the rear? I would have thought that it'd be detrimental to the handling (ie. less grip at the front) ... still, that's just speculating as I have not thought about it much.

DavidM You have the Excede correct ? If so PM me please as I need to ask you a few questions.

I think you might have the wrong person as I don't even know what 'Excede' is.

The reason the rear dropped more is because H&R usually try to keep the car flat. The standard setup has the car leaning forward. I am in the process of chasing this with H&R as the US springs drop evenly but the EURO verison does not.

Excede is the aftermarket ECU and our fellow Northern Territorian has it - just can't remember his name.
