Amazing work Kizza! love reading the updates in here. Nothing wrong with a bit of camber if i'm honest, i did the same using a 2mm shim on my old one to create enough clearance for the wider BBS's.

once you get the car out and about i Would love to know how you rate the rear disk conversion & how it handles/changes the car under braking

I just thought I'd try it and see how it came out tbh. And I think now I'm used to it it's alright lol. I will let you know for sure bud

getting braided lines with a bias valve soon so should be better after that also.

Pikey way mark? Lol

Bias adjuster is a simple turn it clockwise/anti-clockwise, clockwise (in) for less pressure, Out for more.

The thing with the camber is you want enough for it to handle better, but not so much that it scrubs the tyres away in 5mins, IMO that on the back is too much, you want maybe .5/.7mm shims, not 1mm. 1mm by the time you get to the rim is ten times as much.

Do you understand camber etc? You have it so that when you turn into a corner and load up that wheel the tyre surface is flat to the road for maximum grip, On the rear you dont load up the tyres as much and too much camber can wreck the handling.

If you don't care about handling its fine, But I like my cars to handle first, then looks etc second.

I don't think I'd want that much camber though, Tyres wont last long and the rear will be light as fuck.
