[golfmk3]

i have just lowered the front off my lupo 60mm. but am gettin a negitive camber can anyone help me find a cheap solution to this.

There should be enough adjustment in the strut to hub carrier but if you run out it is acceptable to release the ball joint bolts and push the ball joint in as far as it will go to gain a little more positive camber even though strictly speaking the bolts should be in the centre of the slots. What camber figures are you getting? Left should be -45´ and the right -25´, both +/- 20´ and no more than a 20´ difference between sides. This is assuming it is not a GTI, FRI or 3L.

just took it to the local garage cost me 10 pounds to fix. the guy said he just adjusted the strut. so thts tht. but now am about to lower the rear is this easier or harder then the front. can anyone talk me through how to lower the rear? thanks. thanks for your help crasher.

The rear is easy compared to the front, do one side at a time and if you are using shortened dampers do the right first as if my memory serves me right you will struggle to get the bolt past the fuel tank if you do the left first.
