Lowering Affect Camber?

[pizza boy]

Wanted to know if lowering the mr2 can affect the way the camber is set...the lower you go the more effect on camber y/n?

Yes......most people find you get a bit of negative camber on the rear wheels, it is because of the very agressive toe-in setting........apparently the common procedure is to use crash bolts to adjust it. HOWEVER there a quite a few people I know of who have lowered there 2's and had very little or no issues with un-even tyre wear etc.

As you already know Im about to lower my MR2....I asked the guru Iv'e brought the shocks off about it and he said:

"Camber shouldn't be an issue on the back, the front may have a bit to much -ve and cause the tyres to wear on the insides. I personally wouldn't use crash bolts as they're prone to moving and upsetting the alignment, but there are no other cheap alternatives that I know of."

He has a couple of Caldina GT-T's one SEVEARLY worked, and half a dozen MR2's again one SEVEARLY worked.....so contrary to what I have read I'd take his word on it :)
