Default Broken rear axle

Sooooo, it seems the rear negative camber bandwagon is empty. What happened? I remember EVERYONE had to have rear camber plates. So now, I wonder, Has anyone begun to get a little extreme with them? I have been playing wit the notion of throwin a little more negative camber whem I show the car. Has anyone gone more than -3/-5 on the xB/xA?

I think Jim was talking about the look of a broken rear axle by using more camber. It was just a reference.

As for your topic, I cant help.

Wonder if you could stack 2 oneton shims......Sounds kinda scarey, but I'd bet it would work for a while atleast.

You mean Sean? Oh hell yeah, he has mad camber



As far as the title of the topic, that should be changed. I really wanted to see if someone had broken their rear section.

i considered getting some rear camber going, but the 170 bucks needed to buy the OTG shims kinda turned me off. If they were cheaper, definetly.

Thats the thing, there are no camber plates that are cheaper. Even the ones from japan cost about 190-250. The OTG is the cheapest out there.

I used the term broken axle cuz that's what it looks like. That can be used with any car rockin -3 or more, prolly. i would go more negative with the carshows only. But I was curious if anyone had been pushing the envelope a little more. Guess I'll try it and see what I come up with.

yah, i was thinking the same thing. are these stackable? probably would use it only for show purposes though. -6 degrees is kind of ridiculous for the street. not to mention the toe-correction will probably go to hell as well but those that want to show will show
