damn! how many shims are you running ? 2 ?

Congrats on getting it done, but I still think it's fairly stupid. Your car won't handle right (you'll see what I mean when it rains :)) and also you'll just scrub off your tyres in no time at all.

haha looks pimp mate, and it will save you ripping your tyres on your arches. i dont do stressy believe me! :D

my tyres have not worn one bit. thats a 1.5 degree camber shim on there foxie its the most one shim allow you to dial!

the fact the car is lower, will mean its likely somewhere about 2.5degrees

if its twitchy in the wet your driving too quick anyway in my opinion, i could get it to step out, but i can also drive with out wanting it to so its down to knowing your limits its only a 60bhp polo, not a rocket ship

extra load on the wheel bearings too?

you cant put a price on coolness tho! :lol:

you can say that about adaptors spacers heavier wheels etc lol

I'm just getting old I guess! To think I actually paid to have my tracking and camber setup correctly! does this mean i've wasted my money?

:lol:

id love to get my camber and tracking sorted if anybody will touch it all i get is its to low!

and I'm not paying 120 quid for laser tracking lol

hehe, well this has caused a stir!!!

I'm in 2minds about in, yeah it looks cool and yes it does make handling change in the rain. I text Chrispy saying that!!

I dont drive fast coz its not worth the aggro from the old bill

It looks rude. Just be careful in the rain! And dont offer lifts to fat chicks.

:lol:

if you go to a proper old skool garage, they'll still have floor mounted tracking gear. Thats what I did.

Hahaha! It pays for the right look!

:lol: old before your time mate!

you cant adjust rear camber on a fixed axle anyway without running shims.

your far from wasting money tracking your car up!

The rear is prob only as edgy as standard suspension just everyone on here is used to back busting sump scraping it seems! :lol:

hmm, i ned to get me some of these to streighten up the metro! 1.5 positive camber out backand about 2.5 negative out front :ninja:

ye it looks oook, would never do it my self to look like that, but each to their own.

I personally think it looks shit, but if its doing the job of not catching the car then woop! go lower :-)

:D Loving it mate :thumbsup:

i enjoy camber and tbh people can moan about excessive negative camber all they like but anyone who lowers their car induces negative camber on a fixed rear beam whether they like it or not

My mate has -3degrees natural camber on the back of his civic, and it looks the business with my Steffans on!!

heh, cool. good luck keepin it in tyres :p

got a pic of that civic dude??

extra load on the wheel bearings too?

no, because the camber shims go behind the complete wheel bearing assembly

got a pic of that civic dude??

yeah same, i want to see this civic, lol.

LEE

I only took a side snap of the real wheel under the arch!!

When it is done I'll get some pics up!

Looks mad!!!

I personally wouldn't do it......but if we were all the same life would be pretty boring!!!

Good work!!!!
