I have searched and found discussion on above topic but can't find any pics. The exploded Katalog pic is no real help and I don't believe I have any shims in at all or at least I don't see them.
Thx in advance for guidance JKP |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy Andy, It is setup great for AX/Track with rear at roughly 30 degree angles but it is way to much for road trips or round town driving. Just purchased new rubber for those puposes and want it to last. Also thx Rich for the graphic description. Should not need a pic with that. jkp |

QUOTE at roughly 30 degree angles 30 degrees is not possible without bending something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Are you having trouble with tire wear? OK someone will probably disagree with me here but that is OK. -1 degree 30 minutes (-1 1/2 degrees) rear camber will not really cause a lot of tire wear if the toe is set conservatively, maybe a 1/16" toe in on each side. It is the combination of a lot of camber and too much toe that eats up the rear tire (fronts for that matter). I have set a lot of Porsche's up with close to -2 degrees of camber with big wear issues. If all you are going to do is drive straight down the road then you don't need any camber but if you want to corner occasionally it is worth the extra wear. Jim |
