Eibach Camber bolts/shims.

[CraigW]

Has anyone had any experience with the above??

I have saw them advertised in Venom Motorsport adverts and Im tempted so I can run alittle more camber on the front, but keeping it sensible for daily use, so I can lower the front alittle more without any rubbing.

Thanks all.

Craig.

Where do they fit? on the tops or down where the double bolts got through for holding the hub to the strut or something?

They won't let you run any more camber than you can normally.

From what I read you replace the top bolt where the hub bolts to the strut.

Seriously? Oh well thats that idea out the window .

That sounds like a good idea, there's a hell of an amount of adjustment possible there so having some way of setting it would be good.

get the edges rolled in a bit - be hard work on a front though i'd guess

Just get them bent in a bit Craig.

You can do it yourself if you take time.
1) remove arch liner
2) put masking tape around the outside arch (face that shows)
3) get a dolly or a brick (its to put on the tape, so when you hammer, keeps shape)
4) a panel hammer (for panel beating)
5) heat up inside arch (bits at a time) then have your dolly/brick on outside of where you are hitting.

Bend it back a bit, voila.

Or pay someone to do it, but its not that hard tbh, just take your time, do not rush.

Ive been looking at a set for the rear aswell to give a little more camber on the rear too.

Eyes wide open on rear camber. Effectively lowers rear grip - a lot if you put too much on.

 

[GtiBoy]

What grip... Should improve cornering grip tho

A little bit, but in the wet you will fail, and then go through even more tyres Skotty boyyyy

Go to a fixings place, get some slightly thinner bolts, it will allow you to run more camber on the front.

Erm, no.

You want the bolts to be tolerance fit on the hub, not loose

So why is it fine for all other makes? The MR2 Championship all use smaller (but OEM) bolts to give them more camber.

It's not fine! Assuming the same design. You only pinch up the ends, there is no 'fixing' through the hub if you have smaller bolts the camber would quite literally move about.

you can run plenty of negative camber with the setup as it is on the front theres no need for any more at all what so ever, ive ran a lot of - camber on the fronts before and it looked mint, but ate tyres at an alarming rate... theres no need for anything else on the fronts, mine gave enough tuck, and shyte tyre wear and that wasnt even at its maximum -

Not if you do them up tight, so the shock clamps on to the hub like its designed to
