    Sorry for the double/triple post can anyone advise on the above before I remove the brakes again. Would anyone also be able to help on what shims I would need on the back to bring the camber back?

    I was wondering if anyone could advise one the following. After the brake rebuild I have kept the shims in place could this be causing them to squeal? I have tried re greasing twice now.

    So I've managed to put the car back together (at last) however upon start up it seems slightly on idle and hesitates when i blip the throttle. Would anyone know what this would be down to? The car has been sat for just over 3 months, could it just need a good run?
