camber

[beretta5]

Is there anyway to put some camber (-) & (+) on the rear tires?

Thanks.

Yep, you have to shim the bearings in the rear.

How much are you looking to change it from stock?  In my experience (autocross) it is almost negligible to put negative camber in the rear because there isn't enough weight back there to see any gains at 60 mph and under.  Just curious what you may be seeing (I assume circle track).

[beretta5]

yeah circle track......rules state no more than 1* of camber in the rear......I assume there must be some performance advantage?
Maybe not???

If this car is just a race car. just do the passenger side.
if you street drive it do both

can someone give some quick info on "shimming the bearings"?
Thanks.

There are 4 bolts that hold the rear wheel bearings on the axle.  Add metal or plastic shims under the bottom part of the bearing flange against the rear axle to add negative camber to the rear.  You could also add some toe in to help "turn" the rear, but the car may not track straight.  I doubt the tracking is very important for what you are doing.  You want the car to turn left....  Measure tire temperatures to find the right setup.

oh good one rex i forgot about toe lol. They are going to inspect you car to try to figure out why you can stick to the bottom and know one else can

Yeah, I have 2" negative camber on the passenger side, 1" positive on the drivers side with 3/8" toe out.....it turns very quick.
Thanks for the rear camber info....
Thanks.
