I had a quick look in my Sportpart manual and all it talked about was how to buy the DTV modified ones, not how to do it. But there are different editions of the Sportpart manual, and there's also "Tuning Vivas and Firenzas" that I keep forgetting about - that might give more information.

'Tuning Viva s and Firenzas' states the Sportpart negative camber wishbone are modified Ventora items. They give 1 1/2 degrees of negative camber. They are also strengthened with a couple of plates.

Yes, I have the modifying vivas book & all it states is getting after market arms. So far I have slotted them and mig filled the holes & I reckon they are sitting on close to vertical. When I have finished fluffing around with it I will get an alignment and see where we are at.
I certainly feels different to steer, bit heavier might be a better description.
Thanks for the replies.

Just got a wheel alignment done & have got the camber down to -0 degrees 16 mins drivers side and - 0 degrees 14 mins pass side.
Pretty happy with that considering I used a straight edge & bubble level to do it.
