Dont the ZRs have shorter lower arms to correct the camber with the lower ride height too? Did you get those?

Well if I'm right then I dont suppose it matters from a safety/looks point of view, as it'll just be lowered like other MK3s, however the shorter arms will correct the camber and reduce tyre wear, as well as increasing grip.

That's if I'm right, hopefully somebody will be along in a sec to say yay or nay.

No - they dont - that was an assumption based on the fact that ZR mk1 arms have a different part number than those from the mk3 200 and 25.

The ZR Mk2 have the [b]same[/i] part number as those from the mk3 200 and 25.

The difference between the other arms, and the mk1 ZR ones is that their fitted with Poly bushes.

:D

I stand corrected.

Doesn't that mean that all ZRs have the wrong camber then, and therefore loose grip and increase tyre wear in comparison to MK3s with std ride height?
