after market suspention don't have the movement that standard suspention does this is because the factory don't take into account the car been slammed and coilovers are racing suspention so camber ain't an issue so to currect this either drill out 2/3mm juat as long as you dont go too clost to the edge it should be fine i know some kids that have done this and its sorted it out

I see, so is that actually how they adjust it? Or is that a method purely for that little bit extra?
