Has anyone had a chance to fit these yet?

New tyres arrived today so I had another look at the wear & rears are surprisingly pretty good, but the fronts are trashed on the inside edge. What's the solution for that? Is there enough standard adjustment (even when lowered) or should I be looking at some sort of aftermarket adjustment thingy (that'd be the technical term, lol)?

So far I have only fitted them to the camber arms, got a little lazy. Took it for a wheel alignment and I should have fitted them to the toe arms as I planned, so I will fit the toe arm bolts in the next week or 2 and pay for another alignment rant.gif.

As it sits now the camber is at 1.25deg neg but need the toe bolts fitted so then they said I will get the camber near on .5deg neg with the toe set how they need it. They could get .5deg neg camber but then couldn't adjust the toe correctly. This is what i was aiming for when buying these bolts so all is looking good.

Very easy to fit the bolts. I did it the cheap way and bought an Ozito rotary tool kit for $50 and 3yr warranty and ordered a set of 10 carbide burr cutters from ebay for $30 delivered express. Both cheapies did the job without any fault and lived to see another day.

For the front I fitted super pro offset bushes to the upper arms. This gives you .5deg adjustment - or +. So my fronts are both sitting at 1.25deg neg. Before fitting them they nearly sat at 2 deg neg.

I did noticed my rear tyres are feathering a lot on the inside so they adjusted the toe in from 3mm to 4mm on both sides and se how it is in a few weeks.

What rear toe are most of you guys running to eliminate the feathering?

Have you guys not put the lower arm Super Pro caster bush's yet?....the offset ones.

They made a huge difference to the turn in, not sure how much extra angle they give but it feels great in corners now.

Still yet to fit the camber bolts, or get the alignment done...

I havent fitted them. I won't until the factory bushes crap themselves. How much extra castor do they give?

How many KM's has your car got? You need to check them with the car in the air or else you wont see the cracking. From memory I got about 1.5-2 degrees out of them! They also help the car to stop ducking weaving!

As Scott said in the turn in theres a big difference....bring the car to life imo!

Thats the idea. The Pedders guys said they'd used them on other cars and found them really good, make the car nice and stable at speed with a couple of extra degrees of caster.

Doing mine as soon as I've got everything ready. Have to send a set of toe arms back that don't fit and get the correct camber arms.

White line do some similar that are cheaper but theyre not eccentric. Pedders quoted me $150 for the eccentric super pros and I thought thats what everyone was paying.

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
