Car looks magnificent here, Guy, and (amongst all the other detail) particularly authentic in this great shot is the stance/ride-height.
Assume adjustable shockers, so what tyres, ride-height, track and toe-in/out have you hit on to achieve this effect?
Thanks for the positive comments but it's a little high at the front. I keep meaning to drop it a touch!
Tyres are Pirellis (shock), 345*35*15 rear, 225*50*15 front. Shock are Gaz front and back (I think).
Rear track set to as wide as possible, rims centred in the arches and parallel to one another.
Fronts were set parallel too (and strings run from the parallel rears to check left/right gaps were identical).
Rears had no camber, toe is then set by moving a shim on each side from infront of the inner rose joint to behind it.
Fronts have 8 degrees castor, a bit of camber (can't remember how much) and toe in set by shortening the steering arms one turn each side.
That's about it.

345! Blimey that's wide. Thought the 275s I've bought for my STR were big.
It is isn't it. It's got a Q2 now as well and, after fixing the running issue at the end of the Stoneleigh show the car park was empty so a few doughnuts were in order! The last set of 345's perished before I wore them out so what the hell!

345 rear looks excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's sure to be buzzing down by the dock. I was there last weekend for the steam show and some random drumming that was going on. The 'pool is the place to be at weekends!
I saw a couple of steam traction engines as I drove away from Cars & Coffee at the Chung Ku restaurant on the South Docks. Shame you were so close and missed it John!

And then you claim to be a Mancunian rather than a scouser!!!��Quote:

Thanks Henry - can't take credit for it though! I merely passed by!
