I think I have a 1" rear spacer on the bottom of my spring. I would like to take it out to make my car have less rake. My question is how much camber change will 1 in of lowering make? Thanks

Damn good question Andrew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
I'm going to guess .5 I forget exactly how much the 914 trailing arm changes as it goes into bump. It would be interesting to put some math to it and find out for sure. You dont even know how happy I am to hear you ask this technical question. It means you understand that the suspension changes throughout its range (very few understand this) B |
