Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S

Thought I would explain this pic, because I love learning about different suspension setups and maybe somebody else does too. Every one of my cars has been quite different (well I don't know anything about the V), but this one is especially different.

There are upper and lower A arms, and the upper connects via a ball type joint to a block which bolts to the hub. In order to adjust camber you add or remove shims between the A-arm block and hub. Unfortunately those are 8mm allen heads which suck, but I thought it was a cool design. I always thought the lop sided bolt/holes to adjust things were weird and would rotate in time, but I am just a suspension noob.

Front camber is normally limited to -1* if you remove all the shims. Apparently the previous owner milled down the A-arm block about 4mm because it is well over the stock adjustability at this point (little more than -2). BECAUSE RACECAR.
