Hello Paul,

The IPD Anti Roll Bars (Anti Sway Bars) certainly do have a huge fan base in the US and CTCNetwork recently organised a mass purchase from them. Are you able to give some guide as to what you paid for the bits and fitting?

Thanks

Oli

RT Mechanics camber kit?

I got the genuine volvo 850 front camber kit (in its pucker volvo packaging) from stuart at swautos for £10 a side.

what the difference between an RT one and volvo's?!

Matt, what does a camber kit do then, exagerate the factory settings or something?

it allows you to run more camber on the front wheel (allows them to tip inwards basically).

The main point of fitting this kit is to improve the front end handling.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I've noted really exagerated camber on the back of BMWs. How does such camber on the front effect the treadlife of the tyres on our cars?
