also I want to clarify does adding shims increase negative camber?
- looking for a fast easy answer of if I want to just a slight amount of negative camber since it seems I am at 0 now, to go to 2 degrees negative how many mm generally will it take- trying to just buy a few shims not a bunch! currently does appear that the right and left a same, my initial check was 0 and 0.

Be prepared
Any chance a frend can lend you a selection of shims when doing the alignment ? Afterward replace those you've used. |

Hey Bill you have any sitting around? @Billh1963 |

Hey Bill you have any sitting around? @Billh1963 I've got those two parts cars you are free to pick over. Only thing I want off them is the original radio. Both cars have complete suspensions and such. I tried to give the cars away. But, most 914 owners are such BDMF's I couldn't even do that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
