really need to speak to someone that has actually fitted some of these
ive had the instructions for days in german but they aint much good.
i think ill write a HOW TO and take a few photos when i get round to fitting them on sunday (donny show tommoz)to help others to do it as i am struggling like hell with the info thats on the web
so if anyone has physically fitted these themselves please contact me and ill work at doin a how to to help everyone
cheers

> right ive come to the conclusion that im on my own with this one???
see 'observer' on this forum as he has fitted these to his Calibra. Your not on your own, many calibra onwers have fitted them, see www.clubcalibra.com and do a search.
I've got the camber correction kit (from Wallace Performance) not the bushes - I didn't fit it myself I left it to 'the professionals' who did a good job as now the camber it spot on where as before it was way out.
I've seen threads about the bushes so someone on here must have done it before.
ive searched cavweb , club calibra and here and there is lots of info on camber kits but very limited on the subject of the dtm camber bushes.
soon i will be making the write up so us home professional and modders can diy there own cars
cheers for the replys guys

I bought an led kit off you a couple of weeks back off e-bay, will be fitting them soon so will put some positive feedback on here for you if all goes well
Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right
Look at the side coweling and youll see a plastic round screw cover.
Pull the clip up towards yourself and remove the clip.
Under this clip is a screw take it out.
Do the same for the otherside.
Under the cowel that goes around the ignition there are 3 screws holding this in and they are situated under the cowling.
Remove the cowling!
Next pull the milometer resetting "push" rod from the clocks(this is the restting thingy)
Next remove the indicator and window wiper arms.
These can be removed by pressing a clip at the base of the stalks (2 clips per stalk)
Next theres a cosmetic trim that goes across the bottom of the clocks .
You can remove this by manipulating it out.
Next thers 6 screws on show now!
Remove the upper 2 only at the sides of the clocks and remove the top surround.
This will show another screw at the top take this 1 out
And the bottom 2 that are at the lower of the clocks.
Now the clocks will come out.
fit leds right way around
check and then rebuild by doing this in reverse

was lowerd -60mm on 17" alloys, but started to get tyre wear a year later. Was going to buy camber kit (£180 x 2) but instead went for -35mm Koni shock kit whihc has solved the problem. I may fit the Irschmer bush set some time just to be on the safe side.
well ive been informed that 35mm will be fine with irmscher bushes but absolutly no more
