Hi all,
what are the two washers supplied on the balljoint end for, they are about 5mm thick.

Sorry I cant provide pics, hopefully someone that has fitted these will read.

depends on how low the car is, you put those washers in to set up the correct angle of the toe arms

if you are just dropping an inch you should have enough adjustment in stock components to make everything tidy...

atleast thats how it worked for me

You have 3 washers, a big one and 2 smaller ones. the clue is to reposition the toe arm further away from the knuckle with the use of the washers, so that the bumpsteer will be reduced.

Some alignment shops have measurment tools for this, but i seey you have a '01 spec s2k with probably oem 16"wheels, so you cannot use all the washers otherwise you will hit the rim and might need to grind some off the lower nut to get the rims back on.

I have 17" wheels on, tried with no washers and was able to get a 2degree camber minimum. I'll try with the washers next day off - bring the rear camber in some 1.7 - 1.5??
