What camber settings did you go for ?, I had some ideas before I went but Chris said for my intended use they were a bit much. As I have standard balljoints I wanted the wishbones to sit level so that determined the ride height to an extent.

Spent half hour on silly little jobs.
The usual rotten boot lock rubber.
I flat refused to re-use the old door pocket screws when I took those off last month, re-fitted today with nice new black ones.
