    Cabrio / Rear Camber

    In my never ending quest to get my Brocks working as they should, I am now looking to find out if there is such a thing as adjustable rear tie-bars for the Cabrio or if the S2 ones will fit?

    Car is now poly-bushed all round, running on KW variant v1, a four wheel alignment shows that the front is now sitting on neutral camber, but the rears need adjusting as they are out.

    Any suggestions? camber fiddling is new to me

      This is a standard fwd 80 cab ?

      If so, there's no camber or toe adjustment at the rear

        No tie rods so you can't do anything.
        I read somewhere of a guy changing camber on a 205 with aluminium wedges behind the hubs or something
        Just sounded dangerous to me

          This is the case, you can get camber plates for the rear stub axles which is just a posh way of doing the bodge described above.

          0 camber on the front is just outside of tolerances and I like to have at least a whole degree each side when setting a car up, preferably within a maximum difference of 10 minuets side to side, though the factory tolerance is 30 which is very wide. You can can run up to 1 degree and 15 minuets and still be within tolerances. 15 minuets of negative is the minimum required according to the data I have for a front wheel drive Coupe, I guess the Cab could be different.

          To help that make scene, there are 60 minuets in one degree.

            Thanks for all the info guys, I guess I am gonna have to go down the more expensive route of swapping the profiles of the rear tyres to run more stretch, they are only fouling on the far edge of the tread.

            235 on 40 (I think) - might need to drop to a 35 or 30 profile depending on the stretch as machining the wheels are out - it alters the structural integrity of the wheel bolt surrounds.

            Blooming wheels are costing me a fortune...
