Tried the +35 on today with 215/40, no rubbing at the front. Soon as my camber bolts are here next week I will do them all, back should be easy, just going to need to tilt it in a few degrees. I think I could even go lower at the front, thinking about modified drop links.

How are you going to camber the rears with camber bolts? They are torsion beam

Oh O, maybe my understanding of suspension isn't quite as good as I thought it was. My understanding was that these will still work. H&R Triple C adjuster bolts

I'm afraid himynameisbryce is correct. The rears sre not McPherson struts they are beam axle similar to this.

**** you're right. They will only work on the front. I should have really paid more attention. I guess guard pulling and tyre squeezing it is.


So the only way to camber the rear is with tops basically....?

Sooooooo anyone want some H&R camber bolts for the front? Watch the classifieds lol

It's a bit of a hard one, mk3/4 guys (which have similar rear beam setups) are known to put a couple washers on one of the lower bolts from the beam to the hub. But you'll hear varying answers on how safe this is, so probably at your own risk

Makes sense, going to play around with the fit tomorrow, see if it can be achieved with roll/pull. Worst comes to worst I will just shave the back of the rim to +30

No worries, just looking forward to seeing the end result, particularly with the rears.

Got them on. Cut out about 2 inches off the rear liners and rolled the guards to get some more clearance. Going back tomorrow to get some more rolling done and then I will lower it a tad more to get some natural camber and a better sitting position hopefully but as they are now the +25 are very aggressive and resting well. They are not hitting unless I go over big bumps quickly, take it slow and it's fine. Waiting for my caps, badges and nuts to come as well as drop the front some more and then i will put up full pics. Sneak peak of the rear fit for you so far.

Wow I think aggressive is an understatement for the rears! Well done in getting them to fit and achieving the look you wanted.

Cheers
