Cheers drew! The more I look at it, the more I think the rear needs to come up a bit!

Wayne: I take back what I said before, you're right :grin:

Got uniroyal, rainsports all round now. Need to get the camber corected next week, -3.2 one side and -2.4 the other. They didn't have time to corect it today!

Well I rack up about 1k miles a month so use it a fair amount, i'm pretty sure that I can put up with it. The other half hates it though   :lipsrsealed:

Within the space of a week i've gone from having 2 knackered rear wheel bearings (one causing play in the wheel), both rear shocks knackered and all tyres needing replacing. To having coilovers, new wheel bearings and new tyres all round....feels like a completely different car  :grin:
