Anybody got a guide they can hook me up with for fitting these please? Wheels are off the car atm for a refurb and will need balancing once they're back on as been meaning to get them done for a while. So want to get the bolts on before then so I can get it balanced, tracked and aligned all in one expensive hit!
If no guide, just some hints and tips would be good please.
Cheers

Instead of getting it tracked and aligned just send it to a 4 wheel alignment place that can adjust camber. I took mine to ABP motorsport. Bit of a rip off but did it all in one go - tracking, camber and fitted the bolts. I had a look at doing it myself but for the hassle or trying to set the camber up myself and to then do the tracking i just paid the extra to get it done. I had a look at guides but they were for other cars and its pretty much a case of taking one bolt out and putting the new one in the right way round, its just the setting it all up perfectly.

i agree, i would tell whoever is adjusting the camber to fit them, if they need to

Yeah took mine to a 4 wheel alignment place. I told them what i wanted done and they went away and done a complete gemoetry setup on my car. Including fitting the bolts and complete gemoetry setup i paid £82'ish.

Bilstein B10's.
Front wheels are like this atm:
Inner edge of tyre is ok atm purely because I haven't done more than 300 miles since the suspension was fitted - I don't like the way it handles / tramlines atm though so want to get it sorted.

This place seems to know what they are on about. They are in West Sussex but couldnt tell you how far away from you they are.

Going to get it booked in at the place linked above (hopefully) for next Friday - only day I can do
Needs balancing anyway so may as well get that, the alignment and bolts fitted all in 1 hit. May see if they can whip a new bonnet cable on for me too as mines given up the ghost again
