That wishbone angle is pretty nasty with you having the subframe that low. Probably find it rolls a lot and scrubs the outside of the tyres.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yes it scrubs theouter edge of the tyres like hell! Killed the ones on my wheels. Any way around it? Maybe some negative camber or if i can excend the ball joint somehow? Also as seb says when i accelorate quick or hit the littlest of bumps it trys to throw me off to one direction. Not much i can do about the subframe tho. I have lifted the engine around 15mm so i could maybe lift the subframe too but if i do it will give me less engine clearance and i wont be able to fit me engine tray as its very very close as it is.Seb i could pop up over the new year maybe if i dont get anything sorted. Let me know about a price if you can  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

from what i saw earlier, your subframe spacers were about 30mm, maybe try taking 15mm off themor more if clearance will let you??? probs about £40 to reangle your decat flange, i will see him tomorrow to get more accurate price, if i had decent mig welder then i'd do it for you |

Could maybe lift subframe but i want to keep the sump guard and i wouldnt be able to if i lifted the subframe. Will have to get it up in the air and have another good look at it________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Could you not just buy the roll centre kit and bump stear kit?? I know it wouldn't help the shaft angle but at least it will get rid of the stearing issues I'm having the same problem with the Dimma however I can't use the roll centre kit as I'm running 330 rotors and the ball joint hits, rose joints ftw  |

The roll centre kit is an extension of the ball joint spindle which in turn lowers the wishbone angle, the bump stear kit spaces the track rod down from the hub which lowers the track rod angle!Both will help to get rid of the issues your having however the drive shaft angle will be the same, the only way to change that is to raise the subframe and by the looks of it you would have to raise the engine too!! Lots of work, if the shaft are fine as they are I would just buy the kits and leave the subframe and engine as it is... Lower centre of gravity  |

Who is it that makes the ball-joint "extenders" to correct the wishbone angle on lowered cars? Saw a thread in "for sale" a couple of weeks ago but I'm far too lazy to dig it out for you.  ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

It would just be easier to sort the engine/subframe spacer issue out first is last than buying bits to "bodge" it  |

Tracking will be out too after fitting coilovers This will affect your handling a fair bit As above regarding sump guard,either space it out,or get it cut/re-welded lower just where the sump/exhaust are going to touch  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
