To me it basically leaves no real option than to leave my car at standard height i can't see any way i can lower the front of my car (which is higher in the front than back on a Datsun 710) and retain the factory positive camber which im sure just safe as. Especially when i lower the back of my car 50mm blocks with reset leaves for that permanent super launch look.
Maybe i can start a new trend.
Either that or get a motor sports authority card which i don't want to do as i doubt my car will ever see a track. It was not built with that in mind rather a build for me to learn more about the cars i love and drive on weekends to work and specially occasions.

in relation to some of the older cars ie 1200 1600 180b etc, is it possible to cert the suspension as sss replica, as these may have had a little camber added from factory, add your +0.5 degrees and things may shape up a little better.

some of you train spotters will have a better idea on wether the sss got camber or not,

also it could be worse guys imagine getting cert for a triumph spitfire/herald with +3.5 deg of camber because they were complete shit from the factory , try and tell me that thats a safe option.

Triumphs ran rediculas amounts of camber from new.

You're all going to hate me, but I think it's a step forward.
The LVVT cert process is a privelige. Better to have clear cut, non ambiguous rules that are in plain language everyone can understand. In some countries, you aren't even allowed to fit alloy whjeels to a car legally.
All this mad stretch, and fuck off camber is a bout looks rather than functionality. 99% of the cars rolling camber and stretch never even see a racetrack. So all it does is make them less safe.
There really needs to be a formula to denote the maximum safe camber for a given car. But remember that the new rule is in it's infantcy. So the current rule is the best practice as at the moment.

I hate it when NZ is compared to other countries. I live in NZ i am an New Zealander. I come from a long line of DIYers im used to living in a country of freedom I am a resident here for the lifestyle. if i wanted to live in a police state with over baring rules i would and I would get paid a lot more and have other benifits. The reason NZ is so great is this reason.
