So, I' planning on lowering my '97 as part of a suspension overhaul and I'm looking for cheap-ass ways to control the impending alignment issues.
My ideal would be roughly -2 degrees camber up front, -1 at the rear and book numbers for toe.
That probably won't be achievable, but what are the cheap ways of getting as close as possible. Here are a few options:
1. Drill the front top mount holes to give a little extra front camber
2. Adjustable front track arm bushes (not 100% sure these are available for the 986, am checking).
My first question is this: assuming No 2. works for adding camber to the front, could you use them to reduce camber at the rear? Here's a picture of the bush is question, which replaces the bush that attaches the track arm / coffin arm to the chassis:
Are there any other cheap ways of addressing the alignment issues you get at the rear when lowering?
These toe arms aren't too horrific, price-wise, and if I was US-based I would consider them:

But being based in the UK, the danger is customs adding a hideous charge, not to mention the shipping costs...
