evening all

anyway time for new front tyres, asked at bob jane, haberfield about camber kits and he said (not bob ;)) waste of money!!??!
so can someone recomend some cheap decent tyres and tell me where to go for someone to tell me camber kits are good !!
cheers
paul
Hi Paul (bloody hijacker ;)),
what size rims are you running, and what's your definition of "cheap" rubber? To some hardcores, "cheap" is $250 for a single 195 tyre.... to me it's like $110 .
lo
rims are 16, width i am not sure, bloke in bob jane is saying simex, at $140 a tyre. any good, or are there any other tyres for around that price or a bit more that are better.
and about camber/castor kits, do they work?
cheers
paul
ps, feels good to hijack ;)
Jon, if you are interested I'll post some info from my whiteline alignment.
As for the camber kit, I suggest runing a little negative camber at the back but not more than 1 degree. For a daily driver its probalby not worth it for you to run too much negative camber and get uneven tyre wear.
The castor kit is essentially a few washers and a longer bolt :) And for castor, the more you have the better because it effectively gives you negative camber on both the inside and outside wheel while cornering (as opposed to getting a camber kit where only the inside wheel get the effect of the negative camber).
HTH
I am very much a wog :)Quote:

I remember going to a Yokohama dealer out here with a mate's s15 to get new tyres, the dude doing the work was rolling one of his rims around on the ground WITHOUT the tyre. We went apeshit at him.
(He was wog too, which has nothing to do with it anyway)
I got treated like shit, my friend Wasim was treated like a god.
Anyways, on a totally different Subject.......
I have a lot of answers to a lot of your questions. Finally a suspension tech article for you guys to refer to. Please pass comments about anythign you want me to add. It is pretty techo, but it is explained simply.
Matt pls provide info on alignment settings I should fiddle my car to. As Win mentioned I want something for daily driving and not hardcore speedracer styles. :) Uni does not allow the luxury of multiple tyre changes every year.
OK, I'll do that next, try and have it done tonight... someone should sticky the bloody thing though
As I posted before jon.
