Plus has anybody got a picture with them fitted if your can see the differance

Better traction when on the track (more tyre in contact with the tarmac) on hard bends

By the research i have done roughly i reckon its just as easy 2 make your own

people who do camber just for looks use washers. . .Haha

I've seen people using a piece of on old hacksaw blade with the teeth ground off for camber shims, it's quit labour intensive fitting something like this though, the caliper/disc/stub axle all have to come off, simply not worth it.

Rather simple to get caliper and stub axle off! Not much to it

I think i have figured it out does the middle off the disc spin round and the outside is toe and the middle part controls camber setting?

U can spin it both sides.. so u can adjust toe using the front + camber using the back... or if u put the rear thin to top + thick to bottom + do the same with thr front u will get maximum camber :)

Not sure what the max is..sure iv read its 1.5º

Edit : didnt explain that well.. but cant think of a better way to explain :D

Think i get you fella so the centre part im guessing is thicker/thiner too to bottom oviously the thicker u set it either top or bottom the more negative/postive camber u get? Are you running this as i no yours is proper decked

Iv got a pair but not fitted them yet.. dont really need them for the porsches because my rear arches are flared.. but i will be fitting them ready for my splits when i do my rear brakes soon.. may as well go for maximum camber. I dont think they are too extreme.. people put 2 on top of each other to get more camber but i womt be doing that lol :D

"Wardy_21" has sum camber ;).. not sure if he got that with 1 shim each side or 2..

  • Author

Think i would just go for 1 shim

think wardy is running more than 1.5deg. i fancy trying just 1deg but cant be arsed taking it all apart lol.

I'm running one degree it is very subtle, joe I'd put a pic up but I'm not around this weekend as I'm off early morning on my stag do to Dublin with the boys.

I realy want to see what it looks like with 1deg like mite just have 2 buy the shims and try work it out

Whats the point?

Better off sorting out the toe in on the rear with a shim, than wearing your tyres out needlessly with camber adjustment.
