what's the most rear camber you can get witout screwing up the toe too much?
I tried adding a 20mm spacer under the front bolt of the adjustment plate, thereby pushing the rear upwards ( a bit ghetto i know) and this gives about - 2degrees camber. Are there any plates available to do this properly? |

Your trailing arms (or tub) may be bent ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Without any shims i can easily get -2.5 degrees camber on each side. But, the Goodyear slicks i'm running don't actually like that much camber. I run them at -0.5 degrees, any more and they'll eat up the insides of the tires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) That is entirely possible, as they are lengthened by 90mm and moved out on the tube by 60mm. Ok then ,it looks like I'll have to make up new outside mounts. What rear toe are you using SirAndy? |

Meaning, compared to the alignment string, the difference between the rear distance to the wheel and the front distance to the wheel is 3mm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
