Mk4 R32 #112

[balkanac]

I didn't have to no, is this a common thing you have to do??

Mine is lowered on neuspeed springs, (about 30mm all around i think) and since then the camber on the rear wheels is huge. you can't see it on that photo, but when standing next to the car its pretty obvious.
People usually get the adjustable rear lower control arms to fix this issue

[ohsnap!]

negative offset on the camber?
negative offset is in regards to wheels and will show up as ET-5 or something for example, though you'll be looking at massive concavity of multipiece wheels to see this.
-------------------------------------------

Ahh my bad, I did mean negative camber, not negative offset camber...
Just curious as it looks like there's some negative camber which could help with wheel scrub on the guards. i'm just seeing if this might make a significant difference if i have zero camber and run 25mm spacers.

as for the fk's, it seems like the best direction considering i can adjust the dampening and the low price. the 'highest' drop on the fk's according to fk/ecs is 1.4" which i think is a decent amount and considering it'll be on my daily i want a mix of looks and drivability - i don't want to have to rice it over speed bumps if you know what i mean...
i think a combination of spacing the wheels out and lowering it moderately will be a good compromise but if there are any suggestions then i'm all ears!

It's all good. Yes I know what you mean, the adjustable control arms are purchased to help control the amount of camber dialled in at a wheel alignment. Those are fairly reasonable spacer, I think I have seen tomtom say he had 10s on the front and 15s on the back and it sat nice for sure. He's on coils as well. The ability to wind in a little bit more camber does give more clearance as you stated yes. Probably be good to start a thread for yourself rather than talk about this in here though

I'll throw up a close up photo of the rear, although I can't notice any negative chamber at all, might show up later down the track with tyre wear but to look at its no different! Can't exactly say how much I lowered the car sorry, also I have the 25mm spacers on the back and it's dosnt rub at all!

[Treza360]

The 30mm drop on my car gave a rear camber of about 2.5 degrees. Fronts weren't as bad. Adjustable control arms were needed to get the rears down to about 1.5 degrees and a subframe adjustment at the front got it back to about the same as well. That much camber looks fat and you do notice the handling improvement but bloody hell does it chew out the insides of the tyres. Looks the goods by the way.
Cheers,
