and Neg camber is a bad thing?
I need to stick to pressing buttons all day, this is all rather confusing :frusty:
and another question folks
stay with the silver lug nuts or change to black?
I'd stay with silver, they look good with your wheels, which also look good. You will be fine with 25mm all round as your wheels are the same width as the EB so yours will look like Kristian's

my mudflaps arrived this afternoon - got the 1st batch of Deluxe ZL1addon Rockguards

so will swing it round to get my 15mm's on the back which have been sat in storage - can't brave doing it myself i dont think... although i'm not sure who i trust less to knock out the existing studs.. myself ( OCD - but bound to go wrong ) - or a garage ...

Yea really like the CS wheels, and the black and sliver go so well with the silver stripes

Apologies if I have confused anyone, it was my understanding that I was on 25mm all round. If Mike says its a 25/21 set up then that's what I have.

Basically I asked for the set up he has on his yellow GT as I saw it when I went in for a service last summer. He explained it to me that the way he does it means the wheels sit nice and flush, which they do now :) he is one of those people who I don't really need to question - he knows what he is doing!

Cheers Kris
Yes spot on about Mike and his team
I travel nearly 100 miles to him, and its worth every mile of petrol
So that's me decided:
Steeda Lowering Springs
Spacers
calipers painted red
service
and keep my silver nuts :D

what next ?

Thought this might be of interest

20mm Spacer on the rear of a GT hits the back of the wheel like so

This guy (and someone else mentioned here) drilled the bits that were touching

tempted to go down this route instead of sourcing 23mm

Apparently 23mm can touch as well. Mine seem fine and most (if not all) of the US guys involved in the group buy were fine also, but (I think it was) Ian_whu said his touched the back of the wheel pockets.

ughhhh :)

i'm trying everything in my power to avoid putting these 15mm's on the back but everything i read sounds like just as much of a pain in the ass unless i just get 25mm

I would drill or shorten the studs in order to get the bigger spacers, but that's just personal choice.

That's exactly what I did
seems like slightly less hassle than removing the brake caliper, brake disc, splash shield and smacking the bolts out...

you did that on a EU GT with 20mm spacers?
