Stevo_n Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi, i am currently getting my EP91 Glanza finished, i have just fitted Tein springs with KYB dampers(all new)I think it was around a 50mm drop, maybe more front/back. Will have to check. I have also ordered some camber bolts for the front, has anyone adjusted the rear? Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 The rear is not adjustable it has been covered a few times all ready on hear if you have a look, the ends of the rear axle are welded into place so carnt be adjusted. Quote

I had searched and found same results, just a last resort. Thanks for reply Steve Quote
Liam_D Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I've adjusted my front to -1.5 degrees! Quote
Stevo_n Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 I've adjusted my front to -1.5 degrees!Going to do same, no more though, bolts arrived today so see how they go. Quote
Liam_D Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Been told its the perfect camber setting for road use matey Quote
Stevo_n Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Been told its the perfect camber setting for road use matey Yeah it will be fine at that, shame you can't set rear's though. Car has been tested and run for a few days, will update the progress thread soon. Quote
turboloon Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 please keep us updated i have these bolts but haven't fitted them,these in theroy are doing the same job as a anti lift kit..is that correct..? Quote
Amjad Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 No, an anti lift kit creates extra castor and prevents lift and dipping under accel/braking Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 You can get rear camber, you just get the beam profesionaly bent. Quote
Asad Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Got an idea, seems redneck but I'll load up a pic Quote
Stevo_n Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 The bolts i have bought are the camber adjustment ones. They will be fitted Saturday, then tracked and set. I will let you know what the results are. Don't fancy bending the beam tbh. It will be fine as it is. Don't know if you have seen the progress thread, but i carnt stay out of the car lol Quote
rmsnoel Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 No, an anti lift kit creates extra castor and prevents lift and dipping under accel/brakingThe anti lift plates reduce lift under acceleration but INCREASE dip under braking by the same amount. Castor bushes and antilift plates can be fitted separately. I used castor bushes but removed the antilift plates.You can get 1degree using the standard bolts Quote
mindless Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 We recently just bought a spare rear beam our EP82 time attack car and will try to cut and shim the rear hubs to get a bit more camber out of them. I was able to ask Fernando Saravia (I think you guys know him as the red glanza race car http://extreem-ep.net/?p=722) if he had any adjustment done to the rear camber and he confirmed that cutting the hub and shimming it (using longer bolts too) was what they did. It just took quite a bit of trial and error to find out how much camber was needed (how many shims to put) - but hey if it works for a 250 whp race car why not. So yeah its been done before and looks like it works. Quote
Amjad Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Awesome!! Do you have any pics?? I really want someone in the UK to try it so I can get it done on my GT, especially after seeing this Micra. I'm sure they have the same rear suspension design as us? http://www.street-cover.com/2012/qld-haos-k11-nissan-micra.html Quote
AlancEP82 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) might be worth keeping an eye on this thread for a reply,shiming it only way I think www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?104839-first-for-starlet-ep91-ep82-rear-camber-!!!!!!! Edited April 20, 2013 by AlancEP82 Quote

turbo Grant Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I'm going to cut the stub axel off and custom fit a bearing flange Quote
Amjad Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 ^Not sure what exactly that is, but I know who to come to when I want the GT doing then Quote
StarletSr? Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Have you guys seen this on tgtt http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r39/mikey4410/camber/cam2_zpscf899390.jpg Quote
