XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 1m 22d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 23/11/13 02:12 AM Share Posted 23/11/13 02:12 AM Ok, so does that mean I don't need a kit, I just need shims? Sorry I'm still a little confused.Pop your bonnet and have a look the the upper control arm bolts that protrude into the engine bay. On an FG there should be about 10-15mm excess thread past the nut on each bolt. If that is the case, you should not need a camber kit as there is heaps of thread for them to add shims to space out the control arms to correct camber.Here is how mine look shims were added to correct camber. I have SSL King springs in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called Autobarn and was told very adamantly by an employee that wheel's DON'T locate on the hub at all and that they are ride and locate on the studs and there is no need for hub rings as the studs take ALL the weight o.OAlso told me he's been in the business 30 years and knows what he's talking about LMAO.I think I'll order from Bob Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you'll need the longer bolts welded into the upper arm pivots that fr33r was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
