    so to raise an old thread. The people that have tried these, how's it all going? Is it worth doing? All thoughts are welcome.

    When Eddy started the thread, he mentioned having experienced considerable rear tyre wear when tracking the car. Now that I've done a few, I haven't experienced this, it seems to be quite consistent, marginally more on the front which is understandable.

    I think its good, its a nice to have rather than a need to have.

    Not really worth spending your money on this unless you have done a few other bits.

    The toe is there to make the car more stable, I prefer the car to track well at speed and when digging into corners, IMO you'd be better off saving for some good suspension or sways if you have not done these yet.

    No probs here. My last alignment read out showed they do work with exactly 3mm difference from the last!

    have a set of bilsteins on the way, will also be doing the lower control arm bushes. Not adding sway bars, would like to add a front strut brace in due course. The car will be regularly tracked for the foreseeable future so balance is important, as is longetivity.

    Did you add the shims for any particular reason? tyre wear still good, balance was good for the short run I had.
