so good ^^ did you mean to include the extra bit about camber though? or just got too excited about it all haha

Simon and I have been doing a bit of research in to track differences.
according to the written specs of the 2lt and 4mo, there is no difference in front track, but the rear of the 4mo is 16mm narrower then the 2lt. (think it was 16mm over all???)
The rear seems to make sense after comparing our cars, but in real life visually it looks that the 4mo has a wider front track then the 2lt.
So will do more research and add to the first page as this can make a huge difference.

Yeh, meant to be there. The front is just stock camber where as the rear has -1 degree camber.

Car: Bora 2lt FWD
Front: 17x9 et20 (after 15mm adapter) 205/45/17
Rear: 17x9.5 et19 (after 20mm adapter) 215/45/17
Arch height to ground Front: 23.5"
Arch height to ground Rear: 24.25"
Fenders Rolled: Front only
Fenders Pulled: No
Camber: Front No / 1deg extra in rear (2.5deg in total)
Comments: Less (none!!!) rubbing then the teledials due to more space on inside of wheel.
want it a good .5" lower all round, but need to notch the front drivers side or get a smaller driveshaft first. Drivers side only has 5-7mm between the shaft and chassis, and Id say 3mm of that is because of self notch

more pics soon

Comments: Clearing a defect, excuse the random toccata on the drivers rear...





in later photos lowered more.



More pics later on, subframe approx 60mm off the deck on flat ground. passenger side coilover adjuster clears the tyre by 1-2mm so no more lows possible without smaller tyres or better offsets
