Spent a good amount of cash on two new rear tyres and full alignment..........

Unfortunately looks as though some work required as they couldn't adjust the NSR camber in enough........

Adjustable camber arms????????

Oh, and had to point out while I was watching that they were setting it up on M settings. " But it is an M" they said.
Obviously some people are easily confused by my front end.... :headbang: .......Then they had to do the front all over again... :rofl:

I thought I'd read somewhere on here that you want them to use M settings if you run a lowered car....
