A Mate of mine has. You need to cut a bit out of the turret hole so you can go to full camber (without opening it up, you can stay at standard and thats about it)Other than that, its pretty self explanatory. You'll need some conical top hats. |

I had a look at your thread (top marks for effort btw) but I'm still a little confused as what I need?? I thought they came with everything needed to fit to the vehicle? |

Well if that is the case it certainly isn't advertised that way on their Web site, but knowing my luck it will most likely be true |

Ask them if you can use normal suspension first ? Stuart may have adapters to run b8s ? Or sell the b8s and get some Bilstien coilovers ? Plenty will have the b8s off you ? |

You won't be able to unless you keep them at standard camber which then you may as well use standard top mounts...They will last longerThe springs will end up hitting the inner turret |

Do you need negative camber ? Not much benefit on the road ? Only useful on track if you have adjustable this and that and know how to use it ? |

The other option for camber is to have the hubs machined but obviously then it's not adjustable!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

it can be done with offset bored sleeves, whether anyone offers that rather than just an altered angle and a straight bore sleeve I dont know, but it wouldnt be difficult to do.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
