Reverse rims and cooper s disks with no arch modifications are tight when turning tho, you can see how low mine is and it touches occasionally nothing bad tho!

that's how ill be running mine with spaced drums at the rear

Danny

My rear wheels look so odd close up! I don't have adjuster brackets so there is loads of positive camber and toe in is mental! Now it's lowered n spaced it looks better, I'm still not happy though!

How hard is it to fit the brackets when the subframe is in situ?

i haven't got a ue to be honest never changed them yet and any Piccys of the rear wheels and how they sit in the arch ect
