CAMBERS DONE
« on: 08 October 2007, 20:28:23 »
Whilst getting the rims changed over onto the new sport stars, also got the camber done, this cost in total £199, the new pirelli cost £130, so thats £69 for all the rubber change and camber etc done on all four wheels. Therefore, we now have a london based bloke that does geometry, Brockley to be exact in south east london, and has done a few meegas in the past :y, see pics below;

No longer have any pull to the left on the steering wheel, but will also not wear the inside tread before the rest of the tyres on the front, which is what I have just went through, recommends camber to be checked every 7k, I have never had mine checked since i bought it at 83k now at 107k :-/
