Andrew installed the rear wheel spacers and the camber kit on his front wheels. Seems like the feedback on the handling when cornering really improved. So much so that he's no longer considering the TRD Sportivo set.
Apparently the spacer cannot be added to the front wheels are they are on disc brakes. So those with rear disc brakes can skip this. But the camber kit can be installed whether using disc or drum brakes. Anyway, the degree of tilt need not be so significant so as to minimise tyre wear. Andrew did 1 degree 30-40' on his ride. For the extreme racers, they can opt for even 3 degrees tilt.
Rear wheel spacers are from RPM and cost S$150. Camber kit cost S$130. After installing, wheel alignment has to be done again. Riverview Auto at Ang Mo Kio is doing it, but I'm sure this is not the only workshop that we can get this done.
Incidentally, there are generic spacers like the above for 4/5 holes. For 3, 5, 8 and 10 mm. I suppose the generic bolt must be long enough. Otherwise, it will be a problem. Wonder if there is anyway to check.
Something to consider...
Cheers,
