jalesi2001 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hey John you thought about getting some rear camber arms? Blacksport has a set on his, I think its sorted out his camber and handling completely, plus ep3's tend to eat the inner edge of the tyres when running the standard arms? Just a thought, I think they are about £100 and very easy to fit, but you will need it set up again though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yes mate, I've got it reduced as much as possible with the standard setup, so it's around -1.5 degrees.Thats improved things massively already, lift off oversteer and the like are all but eliminated.It's got crappy cheap tyres on the back at the min anyway, so I'll see how quickly it destroys them I'll be putting coilies on at some point, hopefully before JapFest, and I think I'd have no option but to change the camber arms then as the neg camber would be shocking You seen the 'buddy club' camber correction bolts? Seen a few around, but not sure why they exist, or what / how they work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2_vti Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 + maybe a LSD will help ? how's an ep3 drive like? always think of an ep3 if my mc dies (touch wood).heard quite a lot goods & bads idea on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning the music up helps a bit, but then you can't hear the engine going RRRRROOOOOOOAAAARRRR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only heard good things about it though and I dont think they are expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a new chain and tensioner and put my original head on mine then ad Yea ive got the adjustable rear camber arms john. They have made a big difference. You don't get that "stepped" effect on the inside edges of your rear tyres. Im not sure how the front camber bolts work but to be honest it does sound worth doing. If you go on the type r forum and ask for handling ideas the first response will be get adjustable front and rear camber arms and bolts then get a "fast road setup" done on it apparently it totally changes how the car handles.

johngreen537 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 You can adjust it without the camber control arms mate...If it's lowered, the camber naturally decreases, so all you have to do to push it back up is put some washers / spacers between the camber arms and the chassis. I'll so it that way when I put some lower springs / coilys on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
