    I Don't really understand it, other than before had much more red numbers than after. lol Just the front right and rear left . No idea what to think after just seeing that the rear left is well out . Not sure why the garage failed to mention that one.

    # don't know what you mean by 25minutes On the sheet its got camber in red 0*25 it should be between -1*15 and 0*15 Didn't pull at all on the test drive, only after i got it tracked a week later when i got the new tyres on. Just looked at the sheet and noticed the rear passenger side wheel...

    Curt's Nighthawk Black EP3 Project

    Wouldn't say its excessive, 0.25, but depending on what angle you look on the car it is noticable, and it does pull ever so slightly to the right. Chassis damage sounds very intimidating :| and a very expensive fix if that were the case im guessing? How would i be able to spot any damage?

    Just bought a AEM CAI EP3

    Are these defiantly worth it over the v2? Because im unsure which to get, are the cai's really at that much risk unless you go into water about a foot deep? Would you be looking at better gains over the v2, cant understand why the v2 is more expensive tbh
