On the front you have the camber adjusting bolts, could anyone point me in the right direction as to exactly what I need to do the rear wheels please.
Thanks in advance.

If you want more you need 'the plastic shims of death' as they are sometimes referred to.

Or I have some for £18 posted if you want.
There is a pokey way involving washers but I wouldn't go there myself.
Welcome along BTW!

Iā€™ve seen those shims about but I was not sure if that was all you needed.
How much camber will the ones you are selling give?

Erm I think it's up to about + or - 1.5 degrees.
As stated in the ad, too much camber not only looks rubbish but will also ruin your tyres and stop rear end grip due to a tiny contact patch of tyre.
Hence why I never ended up using them.
Remember this is not cool! it's just plain stupid!
