so then people i the know, can you tell me what size drill i need to put through the damper to give me a set amount of camber? replacing the springs in the week so might aswell give it some neggy at the same time? does it say the size in the cup manual?

Don't know the exact size mate, but you could simply elongate/drill larger the top mounting hub hole on the strut(s) and adjust/set the camber at your pleasure then.

mt peice of string and wood isnt too bad but i might take you up on that cheers. not going nuts on the 5 for track, was thinking more for cheepness on the clio aswell, tho the 5 could do with a bit of neggy front and rear

Sounds fine - just need to arrange in advance as I do not have much time spare over the next 2 weeks :(

Over your way again prob next week so could drop the camber guage off ;)

the hardest bit about doing cambers is finding somewhere flat enough to do them...
