Camber & Toe shims

[chrispy.clio]

From the wear of my R888's on the rear it looks like i have Positive camber

So where can i buy camber shims to bash a bit of negative camber on and get some toe out too?

What do your track sla*s use? as in how much negative and toe do you use to help turn in?

I did a little search but couldnt find where they are sold.

How u manage to wear them like that??
182's have almost 2 deg neg from standard on the rear!

Sorry for the rubbish pictures, but as you can see the outer edge is worn and the inside edge isnt

Is this tyre wear normal?

 

[Dan R]

Maybe cos thats the outside edge which scrubs off when cornering. mine are the same pretty much. Need to do more miles on them and see what they start to look like with proper wear on them.

Oh ok, the tyres have only done a little bit of road driving and one trackday at bedford.

Where can you get camber shims from?

do u want to run more camber or are u just worried about the settings u have now?
If ur concerned then go get it checked before u buy them as in theory youll need to know before u just bolt them in.
Cant remember where to get them from tbh. Do a search or ask D4ve on here

Yozzasport can provide the shims, or I believe you can use washers.

Yeah u can use washers as im doing but you will need them fitting and playing around with while the car is being aligned
Id defo get the car checked before spending any money tho and wear those tyres in more let us know how u get on

Thanks for all the help guys.
The race team i work for had a portable flat floor that we take to races. So next week when we'r at Castle Combe i'l find out how much camber and toe i have front and back with our gagues and then i'l maybe try the washer thing first

You'll probably find its toeing in. From memory I think our X85 had just over a mill either side with no shims in.

R-sport sell them but they're £20 each, I'm trying to blag some from John but he's having none of it. Drop me a PM when you've strung it up and tell me what you have toe/camber wise, then what you want and I'll get you a price on the shims you'll need.
