Trouble with just altering that bit is it also affects the rear castor if you go too far. The degrees altered by placing washers behind it cant really be accurate enough.

My rear toe out is measured down to 0º 05' accuracy and as there are no rubber or poly bushes to give way on cornering it stays there exactly as set.

The rear arm (nearest camera) takes care of toe (without upsetting castor), the pair together take care of camber, and the tie bar sorts out any castor changes needed.

All the stuff is plated and powder coated (any colour) so it wont rust (unlike my early prototype one in that pic )

A "little" rear toe out will help cornering Arjan, but a camber change will do it more effectivly
cheers m8,thats about what i wanted to know
your rear wishbone setup is definitely worth fitting,too bad i just fitted the hammerited standard wishbone
