Rear spacers is there a preffered setup

[dicko78]

Hi all I have just started to rebuild the rear beam for my track car and fitting the new bushes etc I just wondered if there is a preffered setup for the rear axel spacers 10 15 mm with / without camber what do people run on there's. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give: Mike

10mm iirc.

No camber ?

Varies person to person, everyone has different needs.

Cheers for the advice I think I will go for the 10mm spacers I just want to get on and get the car put back together I might order a few different ones and see which ones give the best effect thanks regards : mike

I forgot to ask, what car is it? If it's a 172/182 then 10mm is fine. Not got a clue about non sports.

Its a 172 sport non cup model so currently standard setup I am going to go for the 10mm straight to start off with.

I have a set of 10mm rears, alongside some fronts for sale.

You need to measure what your camber (and toe) is first, its not unusual for it to vary by as much as half a degree.

So you need figures from YOUR car before you can make a sensible decision on how to shim it.

Thanks for the advice I will do that I removed the rear axle from the car and I have another spare one that I have just re painted to swap the bits onto I will measure the pair of them up and see what they look like to look at them they do appear to be quiet robust but when I was looking at a project thread someone had put on they had re enforced there's I was wondering why but having read some more threads it appears that they are easily knocked out of alignment. I guess its time to get the tape measure and the spirit level out.
Thanks regards : Mike
