Tell me about it. Was makin separate trips out the house today for the slightest thing, bin bag liners, cigarette papers, petrol top up :D
Thing is, cause I belong to /skint faction /couldnt drive about without an MOT faction, I haven't been able to get the geo done since fitting the new suspension. The fronts are now looking right on the limit on the insides. Tomorrow I'm gonna get them swapped around an that should give me a bit of breathing space.
The plan is to get it all perfect for MT and then sit back and (let the wallet) take a break (till summin else falls off ;)).

I have some rear shims if you want them, just let me know. He has loads of fronts, but TBH you will probably want more camber which means shims out. I'd like to bet your tracking/toe is out which is scrubing your tyres.

He'll do your corner weighting and castor too, but there is feck all you can do about it without loads of work!

Don't think Scott should go with too much camber, it's a road car only so there's no need for an agressive setup. But go see Mark, well worth it and he's happy enough to do evenings provided you can get up there early enough.
