camber question.... one for dmonday....? using washers...

[robz]

A 1mm washer on the bottom right bolt gives -4 degrees of camber which is perfect for most.

Or you could do what the ONI camber guys in japan do and chuck a scaffolding pole in above the bolts for -45 degrees.

bottom right on n\s?

Yeah, sorry! Should've cleared that up really...

[robz]

then bottom left on o\s
ya only need to do one then!!!
what size are the standard bolts? m?
would nylon or steel washers be best?

[Jack3559]

Steel for sure, M6 I think.

[robz]

cheers bud!!
thought steel but worth checking!

[Jack3559]

Some inspiration!

 

[robz]

lol!!!!
just bought some washers!
see how i go lol!!
i do love camber! mk3s with the right camber look sweet!!
not sure if m gonna ditch the mudguards now!

[Jack3559]

Straight mudguards and cambered wheels may look a bit odd...

Personally I'd get rid of them straight away to show the camber off as much as possible.

It's your car and your call at the end of the day... Whatever you think looks right!

[robz]

well ive been, in recent threads, very pro mudguards, but the more ive researched etc... your right lol, damn it!!
but can i keep the front ones with out the back....

I'm pretty sure the washers are M12 and i'm running 2 x 1.2mm(ish) washers and it's not that much camber
