tucker you will have to get some camber bolts if you drop the front more than 40mm (think its 40mm) i bought a eibach and bilstien set up from lmf and dropped the front 50mm and the guys at lmf gave me the eibach camber bolts for free but they are about £19 for a pair :thumbup:

if u go low enough tucker then u will need shorter bars but u can go to about 40mm then u should htink about new bars 😃

robo22sri

what bits need shortening scott?

Sjdickso

I belive it is the ARB arms. you need shorter ones if you go less then 40 - 50mm but i may be wrong.

sdbutler10

yes thats the ones i fort i put it down lol yes the ARB arms and they are metal not shitty plastic like the standard ones. 😃

Sjdickso

I hate the shi** plastic things i have snapped two in the past and the others the inetrnals just fell apart.

robo22sri

where can you get short metal arb links from? tucker those raceland coilovers have had a good review on aon (astra owners network) they said they cant be beaten for the price :thumbup:

tucker1987

and i was wondering any one no about tracking the astra coupes iv been told its not done in the normal way its done with weights and if so any one no some were in london to get it done cuz after iv lowered it i wanna get it tracked thanks tucker

Sjdickso

Tucker,

Have you got the exact URL to the ARB links i can not find them on LMF.

As for tracking, once you have got it all done take it to a speacilist and get it fully laser aligned, it isnt that cheap. I had mine done after havong all my bushed changed to poly ones at a rally place. Some higher tuning companys also offer it but check out the price as it can vary from £60 to £200.

hey ya sjdickso this is the ulr for the arb's im right in saying there also called drop links hope this helps tucker
