I have a mk1 Clio 16v, which is lowered 35mm on adjustables. Its worn a set of proxies down to the plastic on the inners but the outers still have 2/3mm. Would camber adjusting bolts that k-tec/northampton motorsport sell do the trick? and how hard are they to fit/set up correctly?

Any help is much appreciated
Cheers

they might sort it out but are both the tyres wearing equally?

If not then the bolts will cure the symptom but not the problem.

They seem to be pretty even tbh! Theyre both down to around the same amount.

bolts may sort the problem but Rusty had his slammed 120mm at the back and about 80 at the front on 16s and they wore just fine.

mine are doing the outer edges cos of the tracking, when set up right it will wear the iunners quicker but not that much quicker. maybe 1/2mm ahead of the rest of the tread.
