I've lowered the Stag and I'm getting new mags and tyres fitted tomorrow.

I've opted to have the 4 wheel alignment.

The Stag is lowered, so will this be sorted out by the wheel aligner, or will something like this be required:

Or is there another option?

Generally they run negative camber from factory. When you lower it, it gets worst.

Those arms are for extreme adjustment if needed. You may find if you need upto .75 deg of camber adjustment, 1 set of offset bushes from whiteline will be enough. If you need more upto 1.5 deg you can use 2 sets of bushes. Check sydneykids prices, around $100 a set plus fitting, need to press the old ones out etc.

You can get rose jointed upper arms, cheap ebay ones for $100 or jap ones for upto $400 which give you plenty of adjustment as well. I know sydneykid does not like the rose jointed arms for street use.

Get your wheels fitted, get a wheel alignment and what it ends up at. Then decide if you need to adjust it.

Check the suspension theads for sydneykid's recommendations. Running anymore than -1.5 neg camber wears the rear tyres pretty quickly.

i suggest an aftermarket arm

mainly cusco or JIC, or Kazama

all have decently quality endlinks, cuscos ave dust boots

i personalyl use dmax, but i replaced the endlinks with a better quality version

Thats my plan of attack for now. Just doing my homework, so if the wheel aligner calls and says there's too much -ve camber, I won't be surprised. LOL

I've lowered the rear enough you can still (just) run your fingers between the rubber and guard.

A pic would help ... I'd take one tomorrow during the day and post it up, but I'll have it at the wheel aignment joint by then :D

Pictures are useless, measure it, centre of wheel to guard. This is what is usually needed for each height increment:

Standard (new) height is 390 mm front and 380 mm rear

360/350 mm needs only the standard rear camber adjusters

350/340 mm needs 1 front camber kit and 1 rear camber kit

340/330 mm needs I front camber kit and 2 rear camber kits

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
