Has anyone tried to take the camber off the back wheels ?

 

rainbird sells shims, but to do it properly you need a full rear adjustable beam

a tenner for the shims, upto Ł1500 for a beam

you takes your pick and spends your money

 

looks like shims haha will do the same job and save the tyres a bit more

 

Mines on billet camber shims and put the power well across the tread no drama instead of the in side edge .

 

hi matt, where did you get the shims from

They do the job hey mate

A guy on the Fsoc called bettison I think 2005 makes them

 

Did your car settle quickly once you fitted them mate? iv got koni/ahmed on mine and it still squats so iv been looking at these myself, im just scared i end up with opposite camber to what iv got. lol

 

I'd like to know where too....

 

no need to settle the car, you just loosen a few bolts and then tighten them up again

when i did mine in something silly like 93 or 94 i simply put 2 washers behind the bolts to bring the hweels out

those were the days

I get even wear on my tyres so I'd guess there doing the job fine .

I got them off a guy local to me called bettison2005

Mines on koni/bilsteins and Ahmed bajoo track springs and it doesn't squat.

 

just got sent this link

The same person as mentioned above, tho none for sale currently and mentions last sets

 

Mine once fitted....

 

i want some of these for the fiesta to add some camber to the rear of the car.

 

anyone selling these?

 

Mine will be available once my MK 6 degree beam arrives if you not in a mad rush?

 

how much is the beam costing you if u dont mind me asking

 

If i aint found none by then , ill be interested

 

Ok Fil , I will give you a shout when I pull mine apart. Paul sending a pm now mate.

 

cheers again,

but ive got some on there way now, not sure where from, a mate droped me a text, saying his mate bought 2 sets as he knew i was after some

 

hi mate i am intrested in the anti camber shims if there still going?
thanks

 

No worries they should be off soon ish lol

 

great thanks no rush

 

i need some and some good rear springs to stop the squat

 

anyone know whos making these shims?

 

just got a set off bettison think its is last

 

Great I need some too

 

i can get a load of these but it wouldent be right to sell them any how as others are already selling them
dont have a traders account aswell

 

How much can you get them for

 

dont think its a good idea me getting in to it m8 i would love to help out but as said theres others selling them

 

If anyone can get these for a 4x4 please pm me, if they're billet even better

 

ive contacted the guy i got mine off to see if he is still doing them if he is i will get him to advertise them

 

These arent the same as mike rainbird sells, mikes are very thin toe shims that toe the rear wheels in slightly. This improves tyre wear and gives the rear a more centred feel.
The camber shims may be better than nothing, but not comparable to a six degree beam. They dont correct the toe changes under compression and extension, causing instability under braking etc.
Granted there is a big difference in price though...
Diff mount is also a good investment to improve handling

 

Bang on

 

Shims will help the tyre wear but as said I don't think they will do an awful lot of justice to the way the car handles, 6 degree rear beam is expensive but it will be one of the best handling mods you will ever do to the car.

here is a shot of my one prior to fitting and a shot of the rear of the car once it was on, notice how straight the wheels now sit and they sit exactly the same when the car is on the tarmac

imo as standard the front of the rear wheels point in , this could also be changed a little with the correct shim at the same time to make them straight as well as taking camber off but you still want a bit of camber still on them so it straightens up when going round corners

 

the problem is the camber and toe changes with compression and extension. no amount of shims will correct this.
you can set the suspension so its all pointing the right way under a certain situation, but as soon as the suspension moves you are back to square one.

 

ah see what you mean mate , but if like me you are running coilovers the car dose not move a great deal so the way the wish bone moves will be very little imo i think the diffrance would be seen mostly on a track car but i guess the diffrent beam is really a track set up as it can be changed for each track or weather , cant wait to get my camber shims

 

Mines having a SCS beam sometime this year ,

 

evening people,fitted my rear shims today,no problem.
tried to move car forward and it was jammed/locked.
it seems from where the shims have pulled the drive shafts a little outwards that the bolts holding the cv joints to stub are fouling on the inside of the trailing arm.
anybody else had this problem?!!
if you look at rs mat photo above you will see bolt 1mm from arm
