Does your car sway left or right when your steering wheel is centered?

Might be just your camber settings... to the naked eye, you cant see the diff... Just go visit Kenny or any alighnment WS to double check...

depends on road sometimes.. but by opening the bonnet . looking at the measurements indication on the coilover.. it seems different from each other. any recommendation for the adjustment or shld i go back to the previous owner's workshp which is choon's motor? or shld i jus drop by HKS at my office are there? jus a wheel alignment and the adjustment of the coil shld be fine rite? so conclusion is both side the wheel shld be of the same angle rite brothers?=) thanks

Think you better go for the alighnment soon... Your tyres might have uneven wear if you continue with your current camber. Like I said, kenny or any ws that does alignment, you are comfortable with... they will know how to adjust the camber and adjust the coilover pillow mount. Just do it soon.

Some of the newbies here shd follow and learn from c_mon82, least he made an effort to show up at a meet up and got a clearer view on his ES and other mods or simple questions that needed to be clarified... By doing this he put a face to the questions and made bros here know what set up he was on... least his questions can be answered with more accuracy... Cheers bro! :D

yeah... brake pad not evenly worn in. Need to do something about it... wherever you do your brake pad, go back and ask them. and NO, it's not 'like dat one'

did u buy a cheep brake pad? if yes, maybe just throw it away and get some good pads like from Proj Miu or something...
