(hmmm... no luck on the Pelican form, I thought I'd try here. BTW, doesn't the online Porsche community seem very fragmented now? It seemed better 7 (?) years ago when everyone was on porschefans (now rennlist). What happened?!?)
Hi, I've reinstalled my suspension after install Brad Meyeur's (sp?) longitudinal reinforcement kit, and it looks like I have too much positive camber. I.e., the opposite of what 914s usually have - the top of my wheels are pointing slightly out without any adjustment shims. Do I need to grind/thin the metal in the reinforcement kit that is sandwiched in between the trailing arm and body? Has anybody else had to do this? I only had 1 or 2 adjustment shims on the car, and it looks like the kit has more than made up for them... Thanks for any tips, Steve |

Try lowering it more that will move it 1/2-1' Neg. the lower you go the more neg you get.

Ahh... Good idea. Ok. I'll stop worry about it for now. I'm just bolting things back together and there is no engine or transmission in yet either.
So I'll see what it looks like once I get it much closer to done. -Steve |

Well, if there is no engine or tranny in it, of course its going to be funny. Put the engine back in, and check it out then
