Does anyone know if it's possible to set the Toe to 0 with a maximum of -3 deg camber (for Front suspension)? This is at stock ride height (345mm from hub centre to guard).

If not, what is the maximum negative camber that can be set, if you want to keep Toe at 0?

You'll most likely fine that the stock tie rods are too long to get that amount of negative camber and zero toe. I was unable to zero my front toe at about -1.08.

The max negative camber i can dial in now is only 2.38ish, and that is with adjustable everything. Camber tops, camber bolts, Todd's adjustable tie rods, Akom/McGill motorsports inverted tie rod ends.

The above numbers are at maxium low. But i don't see much difference with the issue of the length of the stock tie rods at stock height.

Thanks for that, I'll probably see what I can do with the OEM rods, and go from there.

Hi there. Just noticed your post. Yes they are all made in the UK. The JDM ones have upgraded engine. UKDM and EDM do not have the LSD, lower CR, smaller cams and so on. The UKDM and EDM has a K20A2. The JDM has the K20A and no badge, oh and 20 more hp. I bought a JDM spec from Sydney as a stat right off for $4250 at an auction not 2 days ago.
Cheers.

hey guys, can someone confirm with me what the stock tyre size for the ep3 is. I've done some searching and believe it's 205/45/17. I need to get new tyres asap and were thinking of these: http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/store/ku...-88w-ku31.html

Just wanted to confirm whether it's the right size before I go ahead.

Thanks in advance.
