  • negative camber on a solid rear

    so I shimmed my rear hubs
    got this

    the camber is within spec, just 7 degrees moar negative than stock, so it technically shouldn't pull.
    it feels like a boat in the rear, and it likes to drift around. not dangerously, but it feels kinda weird. is this normal?

    You probably have huge toe issues. Also, where the hell did you find shims that can achieve 7 degrees of camber??

        I'm guessing stacked 3.5 degree shims. Way more camber than you should ever need. I have no Idea what "normal" would be for that much camber b/c I try not to exceed 2 degrees of negative camber.

          Why do you need that much camber? Your wheels are still tucked way back in.

            still working on fitment. 30mm spacers are not the cheapest.
            that toe thing sounds pretty interesting. i haven't checked the toe idk why.
            the spacers are 1/4" steel that i made. call it ghetto if you want, it's a legit setup.

              Pics of the shims and install?


              You should do a DIy. Theres no camber kit options for my car except up front.

              Im working on 30mm spacers myself. I cant find any under 155$ a pair.

                  30mm spacers? Why don't you just find some wheels with a lower offset and wider?

                    Because wheels that fit 'are not the cheapest'.

                      And in the case of the 5x108 BP, impossible to find.

                        it's 5x110, no one makes a good wheel for my bolt pattern unless i'm willing to spend dough. researched wobble bolts, drilling wheels, in the end i really just can't afford it.
                        diamond racing is def on the top of my list.
                        but for now, i like my stockers and they fit the car well.
                        I wanted to keep the shims a secret, but it's pretty simple anyway. I just used a chop saw to shape rectangular pieces of 1/4" steel and then drilled with a 3/8" bit to fit my particular hub setup. had to grind a half moon shape into the side of it to compensate for the centric design. the shims are angled by trial and error. just a few trips back and forth from the car to the grinding wheel.
                        I had to modify the caliper brackets since they are not part of the hubs, so I took off about 1/4" on the top thread and added a 1/16" washer under the bottom.

                        hope this gives you gyus a better idea of the options out ther for you

                            you can get 25mm H&R track+ spacers for like $125, or you can hit up adaptec and get a set of custom spacers spacers for about the same money.
