Rear camber shims

Post

Back to the top
I've recently purchased a set of rear camber shims for my cabby and was wondering if anyone has done the same. Ideally for cosmetics and for the wheels to sit under the arches a bit nicer on the eyes. I understand the repercussions so I don't need a lecturing lol. Is there a desired camber angle that anyone can suggest or is it a case of guessing. I'd like to tweak the fronts to enhance the handling too.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Would need pics to get a better idea.
depends on how far you want to go.







Gents are adjusted via bolts on strut so no problems there, ideally with 4 wheel alignment

Id go 1.5 degrees negative camber and see how it looks.
