Ok so latest updates .....

so I tried to have a new spring made specifically to the weight of the car to try and reduce the negative camber / increase the ride height and still retain the softness of ride.

found a company who said they would help me - except a few weeks down the line and several emails later they seemed to be backing away from the project as if they didn't want to do it.

so, I decided to go back to the company who extended my spring length to try and solve the camber before. I asked then to reprofile the spring so that it has more 'curve' to it. Then the hope was that this extra curve would translate into a higher ride height and so less negative camber. this cost me £60 - plus £40 for my mechanic to refit the spring etc. so £100 in total. Midland road springs were the company that re=profiled this.

so here's the new re-profiled spring (above the original leaves that were replaced with the extended ones - to show the curve difference between before and after)
