because I only did 1deg each side on top of factory it wasnt worth trying to work out the shim side to correct the toe or shim the brake calliper.
Mine had obvious toe in but was still within 'ok' results when the alignment guys checked it. I did wear out some tyres a bit quicker then the fronts due to the toe in wear (no sign of camber wear however, just toe)

So you really need to have the height of your car set to where you want, and have someone work out how to shim it at that piont, NOT when its lifted up on a jack or square on the rear beam
Okay, thanks.
I suspect that I have about 3 degrees neg camber and also obvious toe in.
I'm happy with the height of the car as is and won't be messing with it.

My major concern is that I have minimal contact patch from the tyres to the road in a banked bend at speed and the rear tyres squeel like a b!+ch.

If I reduce the camber with a -1degree shim, I'm guessing that that will also reduce the toe in?

I may just buy both sets as they're not expensive and have a play with it from there.

Thanks heaps for your reply.
