    It seems strange that Anthony is wearing the inside on the rears, I never had that problem, the main problem was on the track scrubbing in the opposite direction until the shims went in.
    The standard toe in on the rear is huge.
    Very true about the toe Eddy, i agree, anthony i reckon what you need to do is get it on the gauges and get a picture of where all the angles are at, remember you have toe shims already. Then take it from there.

    Hey guys - just digging this up from the past - erm I'm thinking long term here, but I want some camber on show wheels I'm going to rock next year. They're 8.5" wide on the back (7.5 fronts) and ET26 so I reckon they'll poke and I want to get them under the guards. So If I buy some Eibach Camber shims - how many sets do I need and what do I do with them lol? No idea about any of this stuff. Also can I just put them in for a show and take them off again without getting re-alligned? Don't care about allignment for a weekend, but for anything else I do

    You could just loosen off the hub mounts and put thick or multiple washers between the hub and the mount for the lower studs.
    Alignment will be crap since the lower studs aren't parallel to the ground but you'll get the "tuck" you're after.

    After removing them, alignment should be as before.
