GavC New Member 4 Member For: 10y 11m Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 17/07/14 08:34 AM Share Posted 17/07/14 08:34 AM (edited) Hey PeopleOnly new to the Ford/Turbo scene and have a question Im sure will be answered!I have a 2009 Silhouette FG G6E Turbo and lowered it with Kingspring SSSL's a week ago (looks very cool).Anyway the front wheels camber looks like a race car, had it wheel aligned thinking it would fix it and it hasnt.looking on this site I get the impression I need a camber kit? Shims on the upper control arms?Is this the only adjustment on the FG?How much am I looking at if I go for a camber kit?Im not impressed with the company that wheel aligned it as they didnt say anything to me about camber problems!Any suggestions would be welcome!CheersGav Edited 17/07/14 08:40 AM by GavC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88739-camber-on-lowered-g6e-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
