Default Washer camber.

Heard a lot about this method but not sure on a Scooby! Anyone have any views on using washers to alter rear camber?

Hi bud, I've done my research and only the front has camber bolts, the rear has bushes and rods. The kit only gives 0.75 degrees of camber so won't even notice. I already have natural camber but due to the aggressive offset of my wheels I just need a little bit more camber just to poke the wheel up in the arch as it hits the sidewall under damping. To the point, the rear has a camber bolt??

It does have one, that's why I said buy one

Eibach do aftermarket camber bolts. These will give you all the rear camber you will ever need/want. Only £20 off eBay too

Oh ok, so a front eibach camber bolt will do the job? I know you can't buy rear ones cos as i said they come in bush/rod form. I'm gathering the front bolt is the same as the rear?

if its a hatch you have then you need a specific camber bush kit for the rear and if you wanted additional front camber then there is a specific extra bolt also (all totally different to the <07 cars)

I knew it! Lol. I know the rear has a different set up but the problem is that the kit only offers 0.75 degrees of camber which Is hardly noticeable. And that's depending on vehicle height, my hatch is slammed on 18" Rota grid drifts and had natural camber already so don't think this kit will be of any use.
