could someone tell me what is replaced when fitting this kit? was looking at the regal site, 180......Is there any cheaper solution ( without pulling the car apart )? I will be lowering my car 35mm.

all teh bushes are basicly the same. they are an off centre bush and as you rotate it it will adjust the camber and toe. not easy to set up.

The ones on the semi-trailing arms (wishbones) on the rear suspension. There's two main bushes per side.

Fat'z did a bit of home grown camber correction a while ago and posted up what he did. Would be worth doing a search to see what it brings up??

Just found it in the How-to section........
