Negative Camber

[biker]

Hey Guys

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on an adjustable negative camber system (read cheap) which runs from 0 degree up to 5 degrees.

I have heard of fixed systems but also shim setups.

I guarantee that many cars in Qld (Aust) are currently building theirs just to beat me (read Rick Blundell).

Need to keep an edge:geek:

Not cheap to buy a good setup. You can simply get the control arm eccentric bushings to help get one degree extra negative. You can also slot the three bolt holes on top of the strut tower which will allow you to move the upper strut in for a little more negative -- however, the rubber isolator on the top of the springs usually gets in the way so you can't get too much.

Besides the camber bushings you can also get a kit from MSA and possibly Ground Control that gives you a camber adjustment at the top of the strut without slotting the mounting holes. It is a block of urethane that is slotted that takes the place of the strut insulator on the top, as Rick states, that is what prevents much movement at the top of the strut if you just slot the mounting holes.

I used the set-up on the rear of the IT car I had along with the adjustable bushings in the rear. I purchased it from Ground Control, and it looks to be the same set-up that MSA is now selling. 100 dollars(US) a pair for these and they will give about 1.5 degrees adjustment. For another 200(US) you can get the adjustable lower bushings and that should give you another 1.5 degrees or so.

Here's a pic of the set-up from their catalog, so you get the idea of how easy it is to use. The next thing that would be the hold up for more adjustment would be the springs with this set-up, the spring would hit the inside of the strut tower.

Many thanks for the info especially about the kit format.

Would MSA ship to the land of Oz???

As far as I know MSA ships world-wide, although the shipping charges might be a bit steep.

They are still in the process of setting up their web-site so you can order over the web, so you might be better off to e-mail them.
