I'm thinking the further you place that wheel from the pivot point of the suspension, the more it will compress the spring and the more camber will occur. For example using a shorter lever to compress a spring vs a longer lever.

Spacers always look silly on a standard height car.

Woken from hibernation, taxed & tested for another year and, seeing as roof mounted bike racks are all the rage in the past week, straight into chauffeur duties (however looking forward to some non-ultility based trips in the coming months too).

It's an opinion.
Not all will agree.

Hard to judge from one photo, and I'm a newbie.... but the car looks fine IMHO, and it looks like anywhere in the 0mm to 30mm range would be OK. Personal taste what you actually decide on.

Freshly tinted windows and a good clean… hope the sun stays out..

Today I just gave a bit of a polish to everything under the bonnet!! happy days...

I’ve done more head scratching than anything.
Removed airbox and pipe work, throttle body out as well. Now trying to work out the physics of how to fit anything let alone hands or tools under the manifold to get to the starter motor…..,

I don’t care if they do or don’t Martin.
That’s the point of having an opinion

Exactly. I like them on my wife's E85 with standard wheels and ride height.

Personally, faffing about trying to get access takes about as long as pulling the manifold, so might as well. Easy enough job, just be careful with the PCV heater cables

Thanks! It’s made to order by Silvano in Germany, and resells via Burkhart. It’s a carbon copy (ha!) of the original aero spoiler. I got an old one kicking around that’s got clearcoat damage, and needs a paintjob. DM me if you’re interested

Barty, sent you a DM.

Washed then polished exterior, wife gave the interior a spruce up. Looks like new Then went out for a drive to Totnes to show it off.

Thanks for the warning but I’m not familiar with this part?
