camber adjustment, and spacers.
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.

is the bolt pattern defiantly 5X114.3?
thanks guys

Re: camber adjustment, and spacers.
camber plates on the shock on the front is your best bet for camber alignment on the front too

Re: camber adjustment, and spacers.
Just bite the bullet and get a suspension place to do it cause chances are they will be way out of alignment
gotta get there one day :)

Re: camber adjustment, and spacers.
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
