Negative camber with drum brakes?

[WABIT]

i got the 2deg ones made up, you can have them for what i paid $50, only reason why i didnt put them on my daily was because some of the vwvortex guys used to chew through tyres every 5,000 miles.....

Yikes. Cheers Dom for the response. I find it amazing that they will chew through tyres given only 2deg.

I've had 2deg on the front of my starlet GT previously and hardly noticed a difference, but I guess the rears on the golf dont do any turning.

Dom, I'll get back to you if we go this route, but its prolly unlikely. Might have to do more guard lipping (i.e. paint chipping)

Hey Dom, was your guard lipping enough to clear your rear wheel offset?

Can you have any rear seat passengers?

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the ones preeny made for Dom were 2 degree plate's

So if you add that to the your already standard -1 degree+ you end up with a tad over -3 degrees camber..

hence why the rear tyres don't last all that long!

what about front's. can you just get different bolts for up front to increase the camber? not keen on modifying the strut tops.

yep you can get the eccentric top bolts (ie bolt to the hub) that give you adjustment, k-mac make a kit (as crap as they are) and a few yanky mobs i think
