How to add more negative camber to the rear?

[bigredguy]

Like the title states I have searched around and I know the front is as easy as camber plates, but I have not found any way to add camber to the rear wheels. I am only looking for a degree or two to be gained. I know there are toe and camber correction kits, but from what I have read these will not allow you to add camber. Anyone know how you could add a little bit of camber in the rear? Thanks

And I dont want the thread to be filled with people asking why I want more camber. I know they already have a good amount of camber to begin with, but I want a little more to make the rear wheels fit better. Yes it is 100% for aesthetic purposes and my car is just an eta so I do not need the whole performance aspect thrown in my face. Just want a simple answer to the question.

I've heard that jelly can work well

Lower the rear an extra inch. BOOM.

the rear is already on only a 4 inch spring with no adjuster and cut spring pads, so going lower isnt much of an option. Plus with 15x9.5s et-5 theres also not much room for going any lower hence the reason for camber.

I dont need any information that will not be helpful. I have searched with no luck and came here for help. I have heard that e36s can adjust rear camber rather easily. Any confirmation on this, or if the e36 rear suspension is the same?

If you want helpful information on ruining your cars handling I recommend a different forum. Try stanceworks.

I figured an e30 specific community could answer the question better with knowledge of our specific cars rather than general knowledge. That being said I will repeat my previous statements that I am looking for an answer. My car has 120 horsepower if that and is daily driven not a race car like many people including you thinks that everyone needs to increase performance so it can be a racecar. Like it was stated in the OP it is for aesthetic purposes only and I want positive feedback not reasons why I shouldn't do it. Also I am looking for such an minuscule around that I doubt it will be any worse performance wise than I already have now. Thanks for nothing

There is no similarity between the e30 and e36 rear suspension.

Please think long and hard about making any modifications that affect safety for the sake of appearance.

ok, now the e36 part was actually useful information thank you for that. My car already has about -5 degrees of camber so -6 will not affect it much at all. Also I am not aware that camber makes a car ride terribly, so would you mind shining light on that subject? Like I said the car is a daily driver and since I am at school it is more of a weekly driver, so performance is not what I am after. Also am curious as to how camber affects performance. And as far as unsafe I am a little shaky on the details there except for the fact that there will be less tire on the ground and less traction. Also camber doesnt kill tires as much as toe does. I have be running -5 degrees of camber for a while as does a good friend of mine who just replaced his tires after 30k miles, and to you if that is wearing through tires quick I am not worried about that considering 15 inch tires are 60 bucks a piece.

Also thanks for the useful info about the weld in adjusters working both ways

Just checking in as an observer. Some of the questions posed are pure gold.

Weld in adjusting tabs or run eccentric rtabs.

[jlevie]

Weld in adjusters will allow some camber gain. If that isn't enough, a frame shop can bend the trailing arms for additional camber.

[bigredguy]

ok thanks. The big questions was will the camber correction kits also add camber, which has been answered. Ill also have to look into eccentric rtabs.

[AbsorbantNut]

You can pick how much camber you want to add depending on where the tab is welded. I know you can center up the bolt hole in the eccentric slot for +/- camber, but I'm pretty sure you can weld the eccentric slot with the bolt hole at the end to make it - camber adjustment only.

Since increasing camber requires the inner trailing arm to go down, there is a limit to how much camber you can get by positioning the plates lower. But you can get all you could want by having a frame shop bend the arms.

Thank you for the correction. There you go OP
