Title: Camber, camber shims, and all that
Post by: Mikester on 15 July 2009, 23:50

I know what camber is, but i dont know how is set, the parts involved etc.

Im having my rear arches rolled, then im thinking about going down on the front, and getting the rear having a little bit of camber.

I know this will do the tyre wear in uneven, but i dont mind.

But how do i go about this? Ive heard the words "camber shims" dont know what they are though.

What can i do?

I have seen people make their own, easy enough to do.

front, under the two bolts holding the hub to the coilover, push the hubs in and up as much as possible and do the bolts back up. you will see what i mean by in and up when you do it. gives you a fair amount of camber on the fronts, but beware the tyre wear lol! :D
