Cool :D :D :D

Thanks
I checked out the garson site with the help of my wife. They are selling the negative camber plates for the xB for 19,000 yen. It mentioned something about 3 degrees/5 degrees. I haven't checked the other site yet, but will get back with you on that within a couple of days or so. I haven't made some calls yet to check for availablity, but if these are the exact camber kits your looking for, let me know, and I'll see what I can do from my end.

Thanks VelocitybB and ScionVan for all the info and hopefully we can get some kits out there to the people who need them...

I personally have time to wait on Vans kit since my wheels will be coming in from Japan in January, so Van if you can put me down for one of the Prototypes (please).

VelocitybB if you can get the other info for people who need shims now and for back up resource.

Van told me that it would be around January... I was going to wait until after the holidays to start hitting him up again.

But maybe he needs some extra x-mas money and might release them early?

Hi guys.. gonna fit the prototypes on to matt's car probably some time within the next week or so and double check to make sure the alignment is going to be all good. The OTG ones are gonna correct for toe... which is sort of a big issue when you have negative camber AND are lowered more than 1.5" or so. With the Scion's rear suspension, the toe is affected by the camber; as the suspension compresses, the negative camber turns into toe-in. So with a car that's lowered (suspension already compressed), adding more negative camber just exaggerates the amount of toe-in you have, which is what eventually leads to massive tire wear. It might not be a big issue for some folks... it's really relative. Some might not have any problems with rotating and changing out the rear tires more often, while some folks might prefer not having to deal with that as much. I wanted to make the camber shims account for, and correct, that toe-in.. something that the JDM camber shims don't do... so that it leads to less hassle for people later on. The original prototype camber shims I made for matt's car (from last year) are similar to the JDM ones in that they only add negative camber, but since his car is lowered, the rear toe is sort of an issue, and tire wear in the rear, although acceptable (for us, at least), could be better. Anyway, once we've fine tuned the specs on matt's car, production will begin and they will officially be avl... prob in the US *and* Japan, too
