Hi there folks, just in the process of building a dedicated e30 circuit racer. Have fitted a set of Gaz coilovers and was wondering if anyone on here has actually raised the hieght of the rear beam, to get it closer to the body, and in doing so, reducing the negative camber of the rear wheels. At the moment, its sat on the floor, but there is way too much negative camber! Any response would be appreciated! Cheers, Rich.

I piad £628, + VAT, from GAZ direct. I simply e-mailed them with my requirements and they were very helpful. Took 4 weeks for them to manufacture them, and deliver them. Delivery was about £12.
Where are those adjustable rear arms mouted on the e30? I cant quite picture it!

Muzzi Motorsport does a ally rear beam bush -12mm so moving the beam upto the body by the same amount, it will reduce a small amount of camber, but you may also need to re do your trailing arms (rose joint new mounts and new pivots) i have used and get the muzzi bushes for a fair few guys for track day use.
