bravo 35 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 You need to install either offset trailing arm bushes, or adjustable camber links. Neither are particularly cheap, but you will save your tyres. Do a search on here for both and you should get some hits. The front won't be too bad, but if you are concerned you can get top camber plates - again, not cheap.

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) I have adjustable rear camber and toe, this is acheived by slotting the trailing arm mounts, adding slotted plates to each end and replacing the stock bolts with ones that have eccentric washers welded to them. This provides enough adjustment for ~60mm lowering. I will soon have adjustable front camber with the coilovers im getting. Basically if you dont have a sizeable wallet dont bother. Raise your car to a level where camber is not an issue and you will be fine.
