SUCCESS!!!!!!

Love it!

Rear is back in alignment, sway bar is stiffer! Happy days

So much easier to drive in a straight line now as well.
Haven't had the chance to test the handling but one sweeping corner on my way home I
went at the speed i normally do but this time it felt so much safer and more stable.
Probably could go even quicker :twisted:
Its amazing how much a wheel alignment can change the characteristics.
Can't wait to chuck the potenzas on now :D

Thank you shane for your specs and bigger thank you for the adjustable arms recommendation :D

Good job mate :D

Just an observation from your pics, those silver nuts are lock nuts, they are supposed to be done up tight against the inner big long adjuster nut so the alignment stays as set. They don't look like they're locked up to me. You really do have some dodgy mechanics down there in Tassy don't u :lol:

Also keep an eye on them for a few weeks, maybe double check them in a week, couple of weeks, month, couple of months etc just to make sure they are all AOK. Once I get mine on and get some race kms on em then we'll know for sure they're a good thing 8)
