Cheers!

Hi F40fan,
There are two ways both exceptable in there own right. As above lowering will/may change the camber off the rear axle but if you require a set height then there is very little adjustment built into the standard suspension to allow adjustment even for tracking, I know this as I had this problem myself and could not get the tracking in the required tolerances I required.
The way I adjusted my camber/tracking for the rear suspension was to take the measurements I had and made tapered shims to bolt between the rear arm and hub, therefor changing the setting to what I required.
Bit of a bodge is to fit washer between the arm and hub, ie if fitted to the 2 lower holes the camber will move in the direction you require and by changing the thickness of the washers will gain the required adjustment. As I said I made tappered shims for a better displacement contact area but I know of poeple that have fitted washer on high power cars and had no problem.
It's cheap and easy too ;D

I was coming on hear to ask the exact same question :) thanks for the answer before I even asked haha.. Ours has had a bit of negative camber since we got it but iv just put minilights on and it looks worse now.. Is taking the hub from the arm tricky or straightforward ??
Thanks
