Which negative camber shims to go for?

[dann2707]

I'm about to lower my car on Bilsteins and i've been looking at 10mm spacers for the rear, and i've seen some that come with a certain amount of negative already on them, specifically -1, -1.5 and -2

I'm just wondering what these would look like on the car?

I hate the whole stupidly negatively cambered car from behind look so i'm hoping it would make the car look stupid? Just wondering which ones to go for. Does anyone have any pics of their negatively cambered rears, along with what camber you went for !

Cheers, here are the links also

The last link looks decent as the bolts come with it.

Ask @Phase1sr about camber spacers.

'Makes the car look broken' was his verdict I believe.

Thanks for that mate! Would be interesting to see, yeah I also hate that look and have absolutely no idea how much it accentuates the look by depending on the degree!

get geometry checked first before you change it. not uncommon for sides to be miles out from each other.

Had it on the hunter a few months back and this was the result

nice and close, i've had them with 2 deg of difference!! would be worth sorting the toe out though if you're going to space it. pms do loads of shims for that.

Do you need the extra camber? What for exactly?

Last link - personally wouldn't use those bolts (stainless), get some 8.8 grade or higher.

I decided against the camber in the end, went for 10mm stub axle spacers from pure!
