ive installed the struts and camber tops left the coil over sleeve floating for now,
need some help with castor and camber guide lines.
ive gained about 15mm neg camber by shortening the struts and camber plates, and the wheels still sits past the gaurd 20mm.
im going to purchase some adjustable LCA's to gain a bit more -camber. is 20mm asking to much? the wheels are a 25 offset and the way the wheel is designed the spoke already petrude the outer rim so going for more offset really isnt an option as yet. i can machine the back of the wheel 5-8mm as there about 12mm to the spring and heaps of room for the caliper. also could go a 185 instead of the 205 on a 6" rim? which would allow me to machine more off the wheel hub? how much is too much -camber?

as for castor, using adjusable rods how much does in actually pull the B/J foward? at the moment the tyre hits the inner wheel well when it not even half turned so im guessing ill need about 15-20mm? i can also go a 35 profile tyre instead of the 40. and get a smaller rolling diameter? how much is too much + castor?


any help appriciated guys.

thanks guys,
hey shoota yeah hopefully works out ok looks to line up close to the chassi rail running parrallel with the diff, was thinking of putting the mounting bracket before the coilover mouns. gonna speak to a mate to see if using 300mm or so bars effects the way the linkage works.(cant see why it would)
found it funny how holden n ford were running the same diff but holden went for the less effective panhard rod system?

thanks ed, ive done mine and im still confused!lol

thanks mate, the donor ute was on ebay back in april. ute no longer exist's.

bit of an update.

shortened struts just waiting on camber tops.



also got some advice off shoota to check out a locating system for the rear end, its a watts linkage setup
got this off a EA falcon this arvo borg warner diff which is the same as commodore, fits straight on just need to work out some brackets and adjustable bars.

pm sent.

make offers guys need to get rid of this stuff.
