Guys,

finally getting my shims from japan this weekend and well was wondering if anyone had some instructions or pointers i should know about.

Any help would be good.

Thanks.

 

wow, importing them??

why not get some OTG spacers?


Check out www.precisionmuffler.com

 

i had a "how-to" thread on this
it dissapeared???

pretty easy, behind the drum there are 4 bolts
disconnect wheel speed sensor first
then remove bolts
put shim btw drum and axle
use new longer bolts to re-assemble
plug in wheel speed sensor
drive and be happy!!!!

OTG camber shims are not available yet last time I checked. The install should be similar to the OTG shims except 2 plates are being used on each hub to keep the bolts in line. I could be wrong though. MyBox or squirrel would know better.

 

/\/\ oh really? Not available?? I saw them on precisionmuffler.com's website for $60

what gives?

 

OTG (the ones currently out) are spacer shims not camber shims.

 

i think ur getting the spacers and the camber plates mixed up. the spacers simply bring the wheel out for a flusher look while the camber plates tilt the wheel like this /---\ so you can run really wide tires underneath

 

yeah getting camber shims from Japan i got a bunch of nice friends who will do as i say anyhow arriving at LAX on Saturday. thanks for the help guys...

but yes dewmerz is correct camber shims allow you to go wide, i got 15x8(+10) so i need all the help I can get.

 

I've lowered my xb 1 and since there is no camber adjustment oem in the rear would i need these camber plates to get my wheel alingment in spec? If so where can i purchase/import them?

 

no you would not grim. the rears alignment stays the sam,e camber wise no matter how low you drop it

 

i just wish there was a way to move the whole axle back
since when you lower this type of suspension the tire gets closer to the front of the wheel well

 

exactly. it looks horrendous on most bagged boxes. but oh well. it doesnt look too bad with a 3 inch or so drop. once u go lower than that is when it gets nasty.

 

Actually, there is a backing plate that's installed also besides the camber plate.

There maybe a company releasing rear toe correcting spacers/shims thru 886motorwerx before the end of the year. Testing/R&D is currently being performed.

 

Not available yet, But so close I can smell the fresh engraving. :D Don't worry as soon as I know from OTG , Scionlife will know.
