OK - NOW I'M REALLY INTERESTED!!!!

Our race car uses 1000 stubs with possibly bluebird hubs and jaguar rotors. We've never had problem of any kind but the camber does change during cornering. We have -3.5 degrees set but in photos of the car cornering you can see the outer wheel almost vertical.

You may have read my posts elsewhere about my road car. I'm currently doing the front suspension but I can't find upper balljoints to save myself. So I need to modify something else to fit. Next I was doing a disk brake convo as well but haven't spent any money yet. So the HZ hub idea sounds like a possible winner at the moment.

I think the taller HZ stub height will be an advantage for two reasons. It should increase the negative camber (erhh..decrease positive camber) as the wheel rises into the gaurd. Secondly, If you race in 3J class like myself then the rules state that you cannot modifiy the suspension pickup points or crossmember(s). Bearing this in mind, the only way to give a 1000 neg camber is to packout the inner mount of the upper control arm. When you do this, the arm collides with the chassis section of the mount when the wheel is lowered (ie when you jack the car just a bit). So the longer taller stub could solve this problem.

I'd love to know more about this conversion. What mods need to be done to the arms to accept the balljoints ?? Please give us some pics and details !!!!
