    cup spec damper/camber adjustment

    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.

    I got on better with -35mm springs on the 5 Ewok - but each to their own got a camber measuring kit if you want to use it

    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...
