Just Curious ...... but how much negative camber does those shimms give you say on standard ride hight ?????
marco
They don't, thats the problem, they remove the negative camber and so give the tyres a better foot print (This is why they wear on the inside edges)
I should imagine even on standard ride height they may help as due to how low they sit thats what causes the negative camber, especially on 2WD models.
make sure you get the bearing carriers reprofiled so that the bolts can still sit flush when they are torqued up or the heads could snap off, I believe Matts already had this done to his.

Alright Martin
I understand how they work........... .lol.... i was just wounding how much negative camber they would take out on standard car hight
ive got mine fitted but havent driven it yet so cannot comment - car is lowered a fair bit too. They are the same as Ade and Matt's from that Bettison guy on FSOC.

Could you not just use a shimmed washer and longer bolts????
You could but how safe they are would be a concern... The shims spread the loads over the correct surface area.
Sorry, not instead of the camber shim mate, i ment instead of having the bearing carrier modified so the back of the fixing bolt sat flat on the face, just use a washer of the same angle as the main shim, I hope that makes sence
