Just an eBay Jobby. After I fitted them I actually see some pretty bad feedback about them so seeing how they go for now. Alignment should be sorted Saturday hoping these hold up.

Nice one- good luck with the alignment.

I'm sure the camber arms will be fine. They look good.

Hmm, i cant remember to be honest. They are the E93 versions, back doesnt lower as much and stiffer springs ...

But im sure H&R drop more then 20 at the front .. 40mm maybe ?

Inner and outer tyre wear is usually causes by toe in and toe out.
Camber has an effect but nothing that will cause concern.

I would be wary of adding too much rear camber as that can adversly add toe which cannot be adjusted out.
When mine was lowered 50mm rear the rear camber was 3.5 deg...they couldnt completely dial out all the toe without reducing the camber.
Not unless that's what those adjustable arms are for.....if so ill shut up ;-)

Indeed they are! How on earth did you get 3deg with out adjustable arms! You got a photo? Not sure if I can get away with like 2.5 or if I need more.
I couldn't get it done Saturday going back tomorrow hopefully a shorter wait.

Oh there's like 1 threat in the search and the one I found he got it rolled didn't roll it himself.

Anyway I'm way past that point. Arches got rolled month back.
Finally got a decent alignment and the first garage was clearly shit as there was so much more adjustment left in standard arm.

But did need the adjustable toe arms.

But if I need more tuck in at the top I should be able to dial in a lot more.

For now the rubbing has stopped. I need to attach some more corners hard to see how it reacts!

I'll try and get a photo or two cars at garage getting MOT

ah i see, i'm toying with buying one or just paying the extra and get it done professionally?

I don't need mine rolled as much as you though. it looks like i only need to move the 90deg part at the front of the arch closest to the side skirt.

I think its worth getting done. Yeah i did mine but it didnt come out exactly as i wanted it ... maybe if i had a scrap car to practice on first then know what im doing a little better.

Each to their own, i now want to get my arches cut because i still need a tad more when cornering hard lol

Fair play to you giving it a go yourself. i'm thinking i might just bite the bullet and pay someone to do it.
