I was about that height and couldn't get less than about 3.5 degrees of camber on the rear.

You will probably either need to raise it or get offset bushes

Around 30mm over is probably around what I want really.

Thanks for the link though, that's definitely an improvement in price! If no other options turn up I might grab those and see what I can do with them

Edit - Those look interesting Ross, any on vehicle pictures?

Flares

I'm wanting to get some small flares for my NA to get rid of rub/hide thrashed guards/give space for normal camber. Autokonexion V2 flares are basically what I am after but shipping is killer from their website.

Is there any local suppliers or cheap overseas options to get similar sized flares?

Don't think you'd gain any power with those over stock. I went from an average set of Apexi 4-1 headers (no noticeable difference to stock) to a set of top quality Maruha 4-2-1 headers and the difference is absolute night and day. If you have cracked/broken stock headers then it might be worth getti...

I have used Buyee but they use airfreight shipping which can be expensive.

Most Kiwi's use someone like Ewan at Hayatonka http://www.hayatonka.com/ who will purchase on your behalf and ship via container

I wouldn't say that's normal but mine is a little uneven.

But what do you mean by tension in the spring? And are you measuring to the guard or ground clearance?

You won't quite get 21mm lower if you use NB hats on NA shocks due to needing to reduce the height of the rubber bushes though.

I ended up probably 10-12mm lower when I did it.

EDIT- unless you use a fancy nut that can go down inside the bushes, then you might
