Front camber can be adjusted using an EZ-Cam Bolt you would just have to find out what size the factory one is. I would guess 14mm or 16mm so you could use these.

As far as the rear goes since it's basicly a solid axel there will be no camber issues so you won't need one. If for some reason you have an agressive wheel/tire setup and need some negative camber to clear the fenders look into hub shims like the VW guys use.

Don't go by SPC's application charts cause I'm sure they haven't been updated yet. Call Toyota/Scion and ask the parts department for a sizing on the front lower strut bolts and then get the correct EZ cams according to that. Almost all manufactures use 14mm or 16mm.

Dan, since he talked to Van at OTG, I assume he is looking to go negative camber bippu style. Not fix camber.

Yes sir! I'm going for the negative camber stance. I'm patiently waiting for OTG to come up with something.

I looked at the rear and took mines all apart and tried to see if my machinst could come up with some thing.

its a little harder to make rear camber shims for the 2nd gens... Becuase uf the rear disk brakes.. and the claiper doesnt ride on the same mounting at the spindle and disk.. you can make a camber shim for it but it wll angel your disk/hub but the caliper will still it straight and your brakes wont work right nor prob not work..

I can be done but than your dealing with actaully moding your mountingpoints with your caliper and I dont know how safe that would be..

it it had drums like the old XB than it would be way easier to make..

Thanks for the research Marshall. In that case, since you mentioned it can be done then my Rumion will be the guinea pig. I'm off to find a machinist who can do it for me. Keep watching....
