why didn't you do modification for adjusting rear trailing arms now when is all off the car?
it could get handy later.

My car wont be very low and all fabrication people where i live all seem to be complete liars who couldnt meet a deadline
if it fu**ing fell on them. so i think i will just live with a little bit of negative camber.
If i feel i want it later its not exactly hard to swap the beam out

Given up trying to fit the rear arb bushes, they are a complete bitch to get on.
Settled for some standard ones for now just to get things together, i will try again later
when ive got a bit more patience.
Built my rear shocks up ready to be fitted
before pic
Had the springs and perches powder coated and painted the shocks
