    install ix subframe bushings. that'll give you about 1/2 degree more and is relatively simple.

    aside from that are eccentric trailing arm bushings.

    Couldn't you make the outer trailing arm mount go up to increase camber?
    Old post, I know, but there's surprisingly little on this.

    Yes, there is room on the outer point to raise it maybe 3/4"". That'll gain a solid,
    what, couple of degrees. Also
    space the subframe down for more camber?
    this, and it will give you additional room to move the outer point up.

    This will, of course, make the rear have no grip whatsoever, as the car will
    be running on the inside edges of the tires, but that wasn't the OP's question or concern.

    Or it will let you run a 225 tire on a 6" rim on the track. When you'll NEED -6 degrees
    of camber!

    Dont IX subframe bushings space the subframe down for more camber? You could try that.

    alright thanks for that. so really the way to go is the weld in camber and toe correction kits?

    thanks alot for the help. I am looking into the eccentric rtabs, and the camber and toe correction kits. When you guys say position the plates lower I am a little confused. I am new to the whole idea of adding camber in the rear so I do apologize. If anyone has a picture of how a trailing arm looks stock and one that is modified that would greatly help.

    also is there a difference between the camber and toe correction kits and the eccentric rtabs? what about a price difference?

    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.

    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.

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

    Weld in adjusting tabs or run eccentric rtabs.
