cant get pics up yet but i will!
What a cunt i had fitting the with no instructions or anything! I hope the bed in do they because the back is set as low as it goes (85mm) and is higher than my old 60mm spings! and the front ive had 2 set 5 times because of the going 2 far down all the time! I took it for a test and the tyre went half up the arch and was scuffing bad! and wouldnt turn!!
How come the front is now set slightly higher than it was and it is noe scuffing going round corners!????? Cheers dave

If u got the highsports they have adjustable camber on the front, u probly just need to push it in a bit. For the back, try removing the spring platform, or just use ur old springs

on that pic, the bolt at the bottom of the damper thats loose. theres another just below it, undo them both slightly, then u can move the disc and caliper in and out, thus moving the wheel and the camber.
