hi all poking around the net looking for info about checking and adjusting your camber setting and found this site what do you think??

I think that's a bloody awful idea!

The rear camber/toe on the Calibra is non-adjustable by standard. To to it properly (& for christ sake do it properly) get yourself a set of eccentric bushes (Powerflex do them), fit them & get them set up properly using laser alignment.

lol thought someone would bounce around the room shouting NNNNOOOOOOOO
ive got the powerflex bushes (eccentric) will be fitting them hopefully within the next month and i will get the set up properly (laser allingment)

Good!

A tape measure & a bit of string is a very bad plan!

Lol!

Seriously though mate, Poweflex'd mine up at the rear late last year (eccentric bushes) & got it all set up properly. Does make a difference, got the full front kit as well (yet to be fitted) so should be nice & tight once I've finally got round to it.

Ive done the front on mine,the only thing done to the back is Ive fitted a whiteline 22mm arb,apex springs gmax shocks just the pflex to go on. even now it sits very flat going round corners

I'm on 40mm G-Max shocks & springs, standard 15mm rear arb & the powerflex at the rear. Couldn't get the full tracking done as one of my track rod ends is on full adjustment so need to centralize my rack & replace both.

Ain't too fussed at the mo' though, the car hasn't left my garage since November! Got a good few months to get things done & all the goodys fitted to have some summer fun.

It can be done like that, if you really know what you're doing.
I could do it, but to be honest, I'd have to be crazy!
Well, maybe to get it to the alignment shop.
