Offset Bushings for Rear Toe Arms
I am making changes to my car going from TTB to TTC due to the rule changes. So I have stripped off a bunch of parts but I cannot get enough camber in the rear if I remove the aftermarket toe links. So the rules will allow me to use metallic, rubber, delrin.... bushings and I was thinking that an offset bushing would be the way to go. I don't need a huge amount of change so getting a 1/4" to half inch should suffice. If there were offset bushings available this would be an easy fix. Or if anyone is wiling to share any other tips that would be great.
Setup:
Lowered roughly 1" from stock
3.0°-3.2° Rear Camber w/ 0.4° Total Toe In
Stock control arms, bars, ball joints.......
245mm Tire

There is a company that makes offset rubber bushings for the S2000 as of pretty recent. Friend just passed me a link a few months ago asking me what I thought. Unfortunately I don't remember who they were. Might be worth some time poking around though knowing that they do exist. Maybe someone in this forum knows. Seems like a good way to gain what you want wile still being compliant in the race class?

Origin Fabrication makes the offset delerin bushings from the front upper control arms. I believe if you have an AP1 the rear bushing size on the upper control arm is the same as the front so you might be able to use that piece.
For what it's worth I used them in the front on my AP1 and the least amount of camber I could get after the install was right around -2.5. I have attached a before and after of my front with the install of the bushings. No other adjustment was made between these pictures. This should give you more of an idea of how much additional camber it's adding.
