Default Adjustable rear camber arms

Hi all,

I'm stuck at a minimum of -3 degrees camber on the rear of my S, and really need it down to 2 and a half (2 degrees and 30 minutes)

Basically I've run out of adjustment on the adjusters. I was looking at Hardrace adjustable upper arms, but wondered if anyne else has had the same issue and how you got around it?

Hate to be that guy but how are you stuck at such a high negative camber? I think its time to consider the fact that something might be bent?

And for that matter have you done pyrometer testing? How do you know you need 2.5 camber in the rear? (Just curious)

It's ok, I knew someone would go there

Its a race car and extremely low. Nothing is bent. Not uncommon to run out of +ve adjustment. The rear lower arm is very long compared the the upper arm. The upper arm is also inclined which leads to a very short instant center length, and high camber gain.

-2.5 is what I've used for 2 race seasons and is where its optimum. -3 is a lot on a 255 rear.

I think I've answered my question elsewhere now. A friend of mine is using the Megan rear upper arms to fix the same issue as me.

Bump for this. I'm having the same issue. Wondering if ball joint or arm should be the best bet and what brand seems to be best

I used Hardrace adjustable arms. I've raced on them 4 seasons now, no problems.
