| Trouble with camber shims is that as you go lower the toe-in changes, so your wheels are no longer straight, i know others with twitchy back ends but theres not much you can do other than run it at stock height...... me thinks not lol.. | |

| mark, you can correct the toe in by running a thicker washer on the bolt closest to the front and a thinner washer on the bolt closest to the back, ie bringing the frontside of the stub axle into line. Do you know what i mean? If not i can pop round and give you a hand if you want. | |
