Buy adjustable radius arms (tie bars) and you can adjust your caster, so you can get your wheel alignment done. Buy adjustable lower control arms if you want negative camber.

If you fit negative camber lower control arms you (generally) must also fit adjustable tie bars to get the caster back to spec. However, if you fit adjustable tie bars, you don't have to fit lower control arms too.

I also bought longer tie rod ends (end of steering rack) when I bought my adjustable lower arms.

remember some are better than others. The ones minisport in SA sell are very very good, but you can get them cheaper from mini spares in the UK, and usually arrive in 4-5 days!

Best to get both, that way you can have camber and castor set exactly the way you want it!

Cheers

Matt

Wanna make a bet? Doesnt matter if its legal or not, they can defect you if they have reasonable doubt or if they are simply unsure.
