As everyone should know the 1200 Coupe (or all models?) came out with non-adjustable camber and caster. Unfortunatly when I hit the bank in my little off a while back the steering is way out. I have just had a wheel balence and alignment and they said they set it up as best they could but it still pulls to the right (RHD car, hit the bank on right hand side). They said I must have bent some of the suspension or something. I have all new tie rod ball joints etc, so I know nothing is worn. GETTING TO THE POINT....I was reading in one of my HOT ROD magazines from the states about kits a guy made (we are talking in the 70's) for z's and 510's and 210's and other cars from the 70's with non-adjustable camber and caster that make them have adjustable caster and camber. It involves cutting a elongated hole in place of the old one in the control arm that is attached to the crossmember. It also involves putting in a threaded caster adjustment bar. I was wondering if anyone has one or knows where to get one. And ofcourse how much they are. My automotive teacher at college said Pedders Suspension should have a kit and last he could remember they would be about $300 including instalation and setup. Does anyone know of any other kits? My tyres are already starting to scrub out and my spec sheet from the wheel alignment place (bob jane t-mart) is off the show. Heaps of things are out like toe, camber & caster. It only had the pull after I hit the bank, and I cant see anyhting under the car thats bent out of shape (its been up on the hoist for inspection at college). If I installed a kit would it be possible to run a few degrees of negative camber and would this help the car handle or would I just stuff the front tyres too quickly. Sorry about the length, any help much appreciated. Simon
