What is the best set up? will neg 2 degrees be too much or how will this effect the handling? will it make straight line driving worse and cornering better with that much? or wear the tyres out faster? just asking if neg 2 deg is too much? cheers.

1 1/4 deg -ve camber is a good start

Cheers David, will follow u'r recommendation.. and yes I'm interested in doing a few track days.. the handling feels pretty good at the mo with 1- camber, so may keep it as it is.. the tyre pressures make a lot of difference too.

On the subject of these bolts.... will these stop me munching through tyres every 5000 miles?

Reason I ask is because the wheels toe in at the top due to it being lowered so much.

If I fit these bolts will it counteract the toe in on the wheel and preserve my tyres for a bit longer?

toe in is the wheels apart from each other(going left/right).

Yours just has a large amount of neg camber. yes the bolt will make it better
