Git them on mine, well made, and do help a good bit.

Did have a more extreme set years ago, but they made a very low car sit at almost zero camber, probably be overkill and go positive on a higher car!

There are several designs out there that doesn't fit without the stub shaft rubbing (on 2wd anyways), so I designed and got a pair made. I designed these based on the drawings on here, but I found that the actual drawing of the part doesn't match the measurements on it lol.

The measurements are, however, accurate, and the design works. Will post a pic of my drawing later.

For those of you worried that the shims introduce bending moment on your bolts, simply fit some of these spherical washers. Bolts don't like bending, so they're a good fix.

Hi thanks for posting 'Nixon_2wd' looks good, what does the 1.6 in bottom corner of the drawing mean? Also what sort of steel/alloy did you use? Cheers k
