Question....... Some of those cars have solid rear axles (i think).....How do you get -ve camber on cars with solid rear axles? I know for golfs and some others you can get plates like wedges that give the stub axle neggy camber. RWD live axles I reckon would be done like nascar racers. cut and angle the tubes, then bevel out the internal splines on the sun gear/spool/lsd, allowing the halfshaft to run at an angle compared to the diff unit  |

I have a negative sketch of my estelle worth showing - not only neg camber, but neg colouration! woohoo! [edit: it is, in fact, my current avatar  ] |

Negative camber on Live axles is easy enough  1 degree neg across the axle works really well and a little toe in doesnt hurt either ;D Theres enough tolerance in the splines and bearings to make no real difference  Its an old Racing tweak thats very difficult to spot but when you set the car up to take advantage of it, it makes a big difference ;D |

theres a distinct lack of imps on this thread, though imps invented it, they love their -ve camber
