Camber - The cheap way.

[Dmonday]

so the next question is how much camber can these shim produce... ill skip over to the other thread now

Proper shims i believe are 3 degrees of negative camber, someone correct me if im wrong

Dan

nope, i believe at max they are -1.5 degrees, you need 2 shims to get 3 degrees, although you can adjust toe at the same point too

That's it, i thought it was 3 because my mate doubled them up

Obviously this is a modification that anyone doing is declaring to their insurers, right?

If you're not then you're running around with invalid insurance and frankly any insurer would be mad to insure a car with this modification as it's screwing all of the fitment of two out of four contact patches on the road.

I'm blown away that anyone would do such a stupid, dangerous modification, let alone publicise it on a forum.

Took you a while to see this didn't it

[Gash]

Well i picked up shims for 12 quid so!

Show use only, i was asked how to do it and create a guide.

Turns out my moron detector was on low-power.

N'aww

[lemski]

tbh who ever does it for the road its upto them to run it like that, like its up to us all when doing stuff to the car and altering from standard. i thought it was a good guide dan.

So please tell what is so dangerous about these, apart from the fact that you can adjust the toe and camber of your car when lowered... So in fact you can correct geometry and make a car handle much better if you had 4 wheel alignment...
