Let me start out by saying I think too much... With that out of the way, I'm wondering what the viability is of slotting the inner trailing arm mount to lower it, giving me more static camber. Here's the idea:

* Small slot of inner ear
* 8mm "elevator" with welded tab to control the location of the inner mount prior to tightening the bolt.
* Switch from the RSR Teflon bushings to monoballs and custom pivot shafts to allow for the increased angle

Nuts or brilliant?

I'm at something like 2.4 and would like to see 3+ if I could. Car is already pretty much in the weeds...

Dang, I'm still thinking about this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Moving the inside pivot lower will also lower your rear roll center but CG stays the same, this could result in more rear body roll. Could potentially negate the reason why you're trying to add camber in the first place.

However, my previous suggestion to raise the outside would effectively do the same. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
