    Modified subframe and bushing question.

    Here's a stupid question. If I installed a Garagistic adjustable sub-frame should, and or do I still need to install the 12mm spaced sub-frame bushings along with the diff spacers? Or can I eliminate negative camber with just the new sub-frame?

    Any or all thoughts will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I'd just call Garagistic up and ask. They were easy to deal with when I called about odometer gears.

      I just tried sending a message through their webpage, and it's broken.
      I will get an answer and I will post it here if anyone wanted to know the answer.

          I sent them a message and this is what I got back:

          Our sub-frame conversion will eliminate around 1.5 degrees of rear camber in the rear. If you require more then that, then the raised sub-frame bushings we make will eliminate even more of that camber. We have them in poly and delrin. We do not use diff spacers as we do not find them necessary.
          I will be just getting the new sub-frame. 1.5 degrees will be plenty for my setup.

            Depends on what your current camber reading is. Raised will take about a degree out. Typically get maybe 3 degrees of adjustment with eccentrics. So if you are running so low your oil pan, cross member, exhaust and a whole host of other shit scrapes on the ground, then you'll probably need both.

            And just to fuck with you, if you raise the subframe you will make it difficult to get to the adjusters too.
            Just a little project im working on

              Yeah, I scrape my front end a bit, but my rear tires are only off by -1.8 degrees. I did not want to use the spacers for that reason. I just want to get state side and take it apart to refresh everything.
