Hi,
I have a problem with the camber on my 220gti.
both front tyres are bald on the inside edge for the
second time and its becoming abit pricey.
Its lowered 40mm with kyb springs and has 17"rims.
The first time it happened i had the tracking done but this
does not seemed to have worked??????
Any help would be apriciated.
Thanks glenn:confused: :confused:
The camber is out cos the car is lowered - you cant adjust it as standard im afraid - either get a set of adjustable top mounts (www.roverdose.co.uk sell em IIRC) or live with it :(

I've lowered my coupe and it did toe-out on the tracking, so I adjusted it so it toed-in slightly and I don't get any uneven wearing!
You could also try powerflex bushes on the lower arms and especially the front tie-bars, these would stop the front suspension going outwards when accelerating especially on more powerful cars!

Dave's spot on here - as the car is lowered, the wheels toe-out.....
