That's only the cost of one set of tires :-)
What size rear spring shims are you running?

Hello Jonathan,
The fuel distributor did the trick. Also had to install new fuel pump as
well. As for as the H & R springs, the car handles great but inside edge
rear tire wear is unacceptable. I called Bergwerks and spoke with
someone (don't remember name) who said they don't carry any rear camber
adjustment kit for 126 chassis. I did find K-mac website - they do carry
a kit but its kind of expensive at $320.00 plus shipping from Australia.
