Hi,

just fitted 19 inch racing hart cr\'s to my fc the\'re 10 x 19 on the rear with 25mm spacers so slight scuffing on bad roads. no arch mods as yet only a slight trim on the centre of the arch lip...

the question is :how do i get some tuck on the top to clear?

 ..was looking at a rear camber bar but i\'m not sure how much adjustment is in them also individual camber links from mmr and mazdatrix but apparently these have some issues.

running tein coilovers as well

anyone shed any light?


help much appreciated
cheers

pics will be up as soon as i have some for reference

If you have 25mm spacers then I would say go down to 20mm to get the clearance you need,

If you put lots of static negative camber on for clearance you will end up with a car that handles poorly, 1 to 1.5 degrees will be o/k but I feel this will not be enough, thinner spacers will be best.

Hope this helps
All the best Clive

i was under the impression that camber bars and links are to reduce negative camber, though it sounds like you want more negative camber to tuck the wheels?

I think you\'ll need solid rear bushes to be able to successfully run the camber bar and links together.

Yes that\'s correct a slight bit of negative camber is what I\'m after.....

I have decided to fold the arch lips as going down to 20mm spacers does not give me a lot of clearance from the rear beam..

Failing that working..... a slight flare on the arch is probable...

Took some appalling picks with my blackberry this morning will post them when I get to my pc

Cheers for the answers ,
