Been looking into it, would cost me about £900 to get all the bits my self then a RR tune @£300-£400

It looks like it shifts, it also looks slimmer as in it's been chopped. Looks great anyway keep it up.

looking good curtis (Y) (some negative camber on the front would top it off imo)

Cheers guys

Yeah ive had it laser alligned on the coilovers as the toe was miles out :O

So might stick it out a bit soon, but handles amazing anyway

i meant, in order to pull the top of the front wheels in really, i think the almera,s are like our k11,s (they need more offset on the rear eh)

Sorry i wasnt clear Frank, i know what you mean by camber, the coilovers allow it to have quite a bit of neg...but i was eating through tyres, so got it all laser alligned. I was thinking it cant be just the camber eating them, and found the toe was out by ALOT! lol

yes, i think if you corner pretty hard, some camber helps to avoid scrubbing the outer edge of the tyre personally, mine has some and the wear pattern seems fine (2 sets of fronts in 12 months lol, but worn squarely)
