    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?

      The eccentric rtab's are garbage. They will change position over time and throw out your allignment.

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

          Couldn't you make the outer trailing arm mount go up to increase camber?

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

                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!

                t
                now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

                    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.
