    Adjustable subframe

    for those of you have have built up adjustable rear subframes with the weld on camber / toe plates from akg, i.e. etc who has had trouble doing up the bolts/adjusting them?. Ive just installed mine and have found it almost impossible to get to the outer bolts using a sidchrome spanner. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! :D

    Getting at the outboard nuts on the toe adjusters pretty much requires a bent wrench. To gain a bit more working room, I remade the adjusters using 12-point aircraft fasteners, which have smaller diameter nuts.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Does anyone know if you need poly bushings for the correction kits to work? It seems like for the camber adjustment part the rubber wouldnt be getting much contact.

          Condor Speed Shop (silence on the forum) makes specific bushings for cars with adjustable arms.
