camber adjustment, and spacers.

Post by adzski »

hi guys,

i want to do the following.

i want to put negative camber on the rears, i read on here somewhere that stock they can be cambered to 4 degrees?
also what after market alternatives are there? can you buy camber arms?

ill have to check but i may have camber adjustment on my coilovers.

also i want to run spacers on the rear, im planning on getting the spacers listed below, but maybe not as thick.

camber plates on the shock on the front is your best bet for camber alignment on the front too

Just bite the bullet and get a suspension place to do it cause chances are they will be way out of alignment

Don't get those spacers, get hub centric ones. Otherwise the load is purely on the studs.

FTO hub is 67.1mm. Try something like these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AF-RACING-Mi ... 73a&_uhb=1
