yes couple options I'm looking at

Kmac camber kits
#141516 K -2/3
$465- Pair
(expensive but you can adjust the front camber without jackup the car or removing the wheels)

H&R TripleC
Which are adjustment bolts that replace the upper fastening bolts on your struts
cheap $50-$80 i think
-3 to +3 adjusment range


can I ask why you need the adjustment?

17x7.5

not wide enough

Cheers ALex
Why do i need them, well you think it is not wide enough lol, fronts rub with 205's on, and i need to run 3mm spacers for my porsche brakes, so was thinking a bit of negative camber might help with the rubbing

Do Kmac make a copy of the H&R bolts

[Whubbsie]

Nup not Kmac but Eibach do, though those are harder to find than the H&R ones.

what offset are you running now?

[vwthunder]

Hmmm ET35 + 3mm spacer so does that make it ET32

[Whubbsie]

okay your coilovers must go lower then they state , I have 8s at +35 with 70mm drop and they don't rub, you running a 40 series tyre? if not that will fix the issue.... but a set of new tyres cost the same as those Kmac chamber kits If it is rubbing it would only be on the tabs that screw the guard lining in place maybe just get your arches rolled.

[vwthunder]

Running 205/40/17

My KW's go so low i can tuck the tire under a little
The bora sports have always looked like they have a aggressive offset even tho technically they dont, they are one of the only wheels that would fit to clear big brakes
It only rubs on the front left, which you say might be a tab, but when the brakes go on i still need to space the wheels about 2mm, depends how thickly they do that paint lol

Superchips rep is coming over tomorrow to flash my GTI...
FINALLY getting it done.
Got the APR R1 DV, the Seat intake, Forge TIP and K&N air filter all waiting for the flash to arrive.... hopefully it will be a good good week.
hahahaha.

Put a deposit down on a new 'cheap car' to free up some cash for house reno's... an '03 Clio Sport 172 RS. Pretty happy with the 'downgrade', if you can call it that

Edit: Jmac, are you able to do Renault servicing by any chance?

Nice choice! They're good value second hand. Had a vague notion of getting one to replace the mrs' old barina. I've always liked them.

Yeah, I loved the drive. Not as comfortable, well built, or as usable for day to day as the Polo with their lack of torque... but for what needed to be a cheap car first and foremost, I can't complain when the other option was a near new Fiesta or something as equally dull

Will they install the hardware at the same time? TIP can take a while, the other gear slots in pretty easily.

Oops, shouldve been clearer.
All that stuff is already in. The DV was the last to get in on the weekend b4 I was ready to flash. Now its time.
