rear camber shims

[JD]

not sure if it is shims or shins or skins or what . . .

looking at getting some for the rear of my car, i know that last time i asked this i think Fred said that Yozza sell them. What price are they and how hard/much to fit?

any previous experience would be great!

I had/have some Whiteline Camber Shims.... Most places that can do Full Camber and Geo will peobably have them in stock unless your plannig on doind it all yourself?

 

[Dan R]

According to my suspension man the rear runs enough camber to not need them really.

 

[Coby.]

Yeah mine just needed balancing out as it had been lowrered loads on the Coilie's

 

[DannyR]

Yea my rears look so negative now its on the lowest setting! Looks good though!

 

[JD]

mine is lowered a lot on coilies, currently have three options, 10mm spacers rather than 15 so it doesnt catch with stuff in the back, increased camber same reason, have my arches rolled

jamie

Reduced mm Spacers IMO for ease and practicality as Rolling the Arches is not easy on the Clio IIRC and I doubt there is much to be gained either

 

[JD]

you reckon andy? was going to go that route originally but since i am getting solid top mounts thought i might as well look into other bits and pieces as well

jamie

 

[Keano]

stupid question perhaps. But what do the solid top mounts do Jamie?

 

[JD]

well from what i have read, due to being made of a more hard wearing material they dont budge or wear, ie the bearing is 1000 times better than a renault one. also because they dont move in the turrets it means you get a sharper, more precise turn in.

don't tell renaultsport or the cup racer teams that! :rasp:

LOL too right! We're in there doubling up on shims to get more rear neg!!

Cheers

[Fred@BTM]

we did that too wider rear track also

 

[d4ve86]

im running camber shims from a cup racer, 2 shims per side, 1 for camber 1 for toe

 

[mini-valver]

LOL! We run some epic camber on the race cars, mintness. Shame the rear axle's are made off poo so by the 3rd lap geo is fucked anyway, lol.

im talking road use fred. you are tnuc sometimes u really are.

 

[lucars]

Im after something similar for my Mk3 fiesta can someone point me in the direction of a supplier of the clio ones. I can then have these re-made into Ford fitment

I believe these are the clio items

Many thanks for your time

you're the dude using the hard ast "race" suspension and R888's on the roads and you call me a tnuc? (what is a tnuc anyway? LOL)

love you princess

for one i dont run r888's on the road. two, the suspension on my car with the new rebound settings and stiff spring setup is far better than the soft setup even on the road and is a hell of alot better on the track. three, try turning tnuc around!!!
love u too princess
Let me know when ur in the area and ur more than welcome to drive it.
In fact theres a spare seat in my car when i go to the ring in may??

 

[Riley!]

group buy lol...

+1

 

[Dan R]

Or you could use half mm spacers to save urself 60 quid!!
Does the same job and alot of people who setup race cars use this idea and if it works for them then it will work fine on a track/road car!!

 

[powey]

how would a spacer do anything apart from widen the track?

Any info on the spacers?

 

[Hutchie]

trophy rear beams are full of extra strengthening i assume to combat the epic camber that results from hard driving lol

I'm following this , i'm getting some Speedline 2020's that will stick out about 5mm more than the Turinis.

Will axels / bearings be allright with ET32 ?

I need to have a look at the strenghtening you're talking bout . The wheels i want to put on have offset 32 , that's 12mm wider than the 43 the hubs were designed for

our rally car now through use has about 3-8 degree's of camber

 

[franx]

through use !? that means the constuction is really s**t does'nt it ?
