so you increase the camber for cornering, will this make your tyres last longer, i know on a LOW kit the tyres wont fit flat to the floor will they? will this fix it?

If you want more camber use camber bolts, they work and give upto 1.75° of extra camber. We have some on our Cinq Eibach ones work great.

the tyre won't last as long, but as is only 1 degree or so, shouldn't make that much differences.

The point of the negative camber is that when the car leans during cornering, the tyre presents more of its tread to the road, although it deosn't while at rest.

hi, can the camber bolts be fitted as a DIY job or is it advisable to take it to someone who can professionally measure the camber angle? Thanks

it wouldnt be at all hard to make custom top mounts for the cento to allow you to change the caster/camber. can be as simple as drilling out the holes the top mounts bolt to and using big washers
