Hi guys,
I'm planning on bringing my car down to you for a geo in the new year.
My car is lowered quite a lot although I don't know exactly how much? Possibly close to 3’’?
The last time the car was checked I had these settings (although the car was lowered another 1/2’’ since):
Front
Left Right
Camber: -1°13’ -1°18
Toe: 0°07’ 0°06’

Rear
Camber: -2°09’ -2°09’
Toe: 0°11’ 0°10’

Caster was not checked
Total Toe: 0°13’
Thrust Angle: -0°01’

My question is do you think you will be able to get the car within spec with the factory adjusters or will I need after market parts for a decent setup. I'm pretty sure the rear camber adjusters are maxed out, though I know it's not the camber itself that destroys tyres.
Cheers & Merry Christmas.

You can get adjustable front upper A arm ball joints from Eibach.

Cheers, Is that all you think I will need? I forgot to specify that it's the rear tyres that are wearing.

Is the rear camber adjuster out of adjustment?

Sounds like a plan.
Did you have any extra parts to adjust your geometry on your is? I'm just paranoid I'll need additional parts and then have to go back to have the car set up properly.
