Just got some fk coilovers. (second hand), just put the fronts on the car, but the camber is shit. I noticed with that the top hole on the bottom of the leg is wider than the bottom one? I think it meant to be like that. How am i meant to get the camber correct? do i need special bolts?
Cheers Ant

either:
1. get some decent coilovers to start with
2. pay for a 'proper' alignment session (around 80 quid)
3. do what most FK owners do and just guess and hope for the best.
