Default Coilovers & Camber

Ive just lowered the Scooby today, and noticed the rear has quite a lot of positive camber now!

Is the rear adjustable? as i know on my focus the rear is only adjustable +-1 degree, which wouldn't be enough on the Scooby IMO.

You sure thats positive camber there mate? Most independent suspensions give negitive camber once dropped or lowered. This is what you need

Do the strut bottoms have slotted holes? or camber bolts fitted? if so move the bolt in the slot to make it max negative.

Camber can be adjusted via camber bolts and strut top mounts if you have adjustable ones.

these don't have top mount adjustment... just seems strange that there is positive camber on the wheels and not the usual negative camber.

I had a look, and i cannot see any adjustment bolts or anything

Lower camber bolts won't look adjustable, you have to try them!

Jack the rears up, loosen the two bolts and push the top of the wheel in as far as you can, then tighten up
