rear camber

[MarcusAurelius]

hey hey fellas, as the title states, this is in regards to the camber of thy rear wheels. after i lowered my 6r, i realized there was more negative cambz on my front as opposed to my rears so i had an idea today and i pulled off my rear wheel.
inside, i saw that maybe i can (possibly) increase my negative camber by adding shims/washers to where the hub bolts on to the axle/beam. after i made this amazingly exciting discovery i saw that... the caliper is mounted to the beam and not the hub. so increasing my negative camber with make the disc no longer line up with the pads/caliper. i did notice that the caliper guides have a bit of play so i was ultimately going to ask, will the caliper guides have enough play to make the caliper sit roughly inline with the disc if i were to add, lets say, 4mm to the lower hub bolts and 0mm to the upper so i can get some 9n-competitive stance going on???

and this is how the road to a wickedly stanced 6r begins >

No is the simple answer. Welcome to the wonderful world of the Vw torsion beam rear end!
The rubber caliper guide are there as dampers and in all honesty, already result in uneven pad wear.

BY NO MEANS DO I ENDORSE MY NEXT COMMENT.

The only way to do what you want to without a whole lot of custom machining is to disconnect the rear brakes altogether because it would be jus as effective as what you are proposing...

Just bag it.

The car already understeers, I wouldn't worry about increasing negative camber on the rear.

That's how the camber shim kits work. You can try to make align the rear caliper with custom shims for the caliper mounts but most people going down this route just live with the uneven pad wear.

Yep. Particularly after dropping it. check out Does your VAG handle? It depends...
