Anyway, the clostest to standard picture i have and i look now and again and think why didn't i leave it this way - And then pictures of how it is now Hope people don't mind me stealing a few of there pictures theyve took

mate i love this ep3!

ill do a build thread on mine over the weekend and introduce myself properly!

hope the forum goes well for you!

My favourite ep3 mate, no question, just needs a turbo now

Really do love everything about this EP3......looks so aggressive and the new rims are awesome mate

Update

I bought a spare pair of track rod arms and had them shortened as when lowering an EP3 to gain anymore than 1.25 degree of negative camber is pretty impossible due to the track rods bottoming out. Basically meaning when adding more camber you gain excessive toe in and there isn't enough thread on the track rod arms to put this back to neutral or the required specification.

I was going to do this my self but i didn't have the right size die as the thread pitch is on odd one for the diameter.

Basically the thread has been extended 35mm or so down as far as possible, then 25mm took off the standard thread, the ends have then been plugged as standard, this means there is now adjustment to go from - 1 to around - 4 degree camber without having to worry about regaining the toe values.

I can probably get more of these done for people, although i'd have to have a look at a cost.

My new Geometry settings will be

Front: -2 caster (switching top mounts), -2.5 Camber, -1mm toe out,
Front wheel spec: 17x8.5 ET25 (5mm Spacer) 215/45/17 Continental - Soon to try 245/40/17

Rear: -2 Camber, 0 toe
Rear wheel spec: 17x8.5 ET30 215/45/17 Continental

Standard on the left, you can see where the thread stops
On the right thread extended

stunning mate.
love this car.

When you getting the new geo settings applied mate? Interested to know whats the best of both worlds for settings (track and road)...surly this is major aggressive for road? just for when i eventually get some pennies together for some coilovers

Update

Small update, took a few pictures with my I phone as i forgot the camera just trying to capture the front camber but it really didn't show up at all with my dark wheels boooo.

Also stuck a few stickers on the wonderful Mr G sent through to me

I want the back lower 15mm!! but it seems the platforms on the BCs are all the way down even when i increase the pre-load on the rear spring looks like the hacksaw is coming out

Anyway comments welcome as always, although not alot to comment on :salut:
