Rear Camber

[olliemilsom]

Is it possible to dial in rear camber by using some washer on the bottom 2 studs out of the 4 on the stub axle rather than buying shims?

Thanks

 

[Dweeb]

wouldn't want to use washers personally haha

 

[olliemilsom]

Any other ideas, sure someone did something without using the shims

 

[bozothenutter]

shims aren't that expensive are they?

Just use shims ffs.

 

[olliemilsom]

yer but they only do an extra 1 degree, can i use 2?

I heard that the Clio Cup race teams use washers.

Lol! I hardly doubt it!

A professional team wanting to set up for each circuit will be using proper shims for acurate geometry, not some bloody penny washers!

Use shims mate, i have. Big improvement imo

A few people have used washers, IIRC bomber and bifcaids.

Yes you can afaik but get someone else to confirm that.

Pure motorsport do a bigger range shims.

We used washers to start with,but they break down.
You can get shims in .5deg anyway.

Pretty sure thats the size on mine

 

[olliemilsom]

Want more than 0.5. More like another 1.5

 

[Jon.G]

So your going to run 3.0degrees of camber? Right.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Too much.

i used 0.5mm washers under the two bottom bolts and spaced the hubs out 15mm also, looked gangsta yo, seemed alright on track but then i hadnt driven it hard for 7 months so couldnt tell you if it was worse or better than standard.

looked cool though, an i had enough powahhhh to make up for any s**t cornering

Don't forget to take into account the standard camber. -1.5 iirc.
