hi am putting coil overs on my car, but unsure whether the back will suffer from to much negative camber. do they, if lowered to much, will be running 17s. also just wondering if any of the racers have seen or converted there rear end to adjustable set up, ie rose joints. the car is mainly going to be used for track days at the moment. and making parts isnt a problem as im an engineer. any help or pictures would be cool. thanks have the rear arms off at the moment as changing to rear disc set up.

yes u will have probs with neg camber for sure!

one thing u can do is change the trailing arm bushes for eccentric ones.

search 'ireland engineering' on google and look at their site- they do them there, u should be able to fit them easily, they just need tack welding in place i think, to stop em spinnin round

that will not affect the wheel camber but will greatly improve handling and reduce body roll
