won't this upgrade cost about £600 all in + fitting if you get a mechanic to do it...
seems pricey for an extra 20mm ... anyone have experience of driving both? |

Well donkey they are adjustable and I need them to correct the angle.the wheels are at now I've loweres the car. But the adjuster nut Is very large so comedy spanners are needed to set them up.

Also for me its almost 50mm larger brakes. I drive sts regularly and they are much better than the 300 ones. |

I'm assuming your car is very low then. I think we need pics of it's stance. What are rear camber arms from?

It's not that low only down 30mm but the c30 runs the max camber you can afford on the rear and not eat tyres. Lowered it probably has about -4 degrees. the arms aren't for a volvo they are for a Mazda 3. they are after market and I had to Import them from america. |

Pics don't really show it to well but it looks like the wheels aren't on right In person. |

car looks good.
funnily enough, mine ate front tyres till I changed the rear camber arms for an upgrade that would allow correct geometry on the rear with lowering. After that the fronts have lasted much better (nearly double the distance). |
