Camber adjusting rear bushings

[mbarjbar]

Does anyone have experience with using the aluminum offset rear bushings after lowering their car? Are they necessary? Does the camber need to be adjusted? I am lowering my car with the Tokico/Lumina kit.

My car is a 1970 Z

Yes, no, no.

They work fine, they're not absolutely necessary, and lowering a Z generally results in a lot more neg camber in the rear than the front.

Thanks. Any idea how much negative camber results from lowering with the kit I mentioned? I guess increased inside tire wear is an issue.

I have them on the front and rear of my '71 that is lowered with the BRE springs. I have not had any issues with tire wear with them. At the time I put them on it was recommended to avoid the excessive negative camber. 1 degree negative front and 3/4 degree negative in the rear (1/2 to 3/4 was the recommendation).

No, but I'm sure there are quite a few people with that setup who can answer.
