ive just done the rear on mine 2day. We put 3mm washer on the bottom bolts for the stud axle and 1mm on the top. The wheels have a noticable angle to them but the handling is a lot better now. I still have to do the front yet and hopefully it will finish off the handling nicely.

so for the back use std bolt and put a washer between the damper and mount on the axle as such

you have the axle then the drum ect bolts on to it with four bolts. The two on the bottom we used 3mm between the drumect an axle and then 1mm on the top

such a low drop puts the bottom wishbone at a crap angle. you end up with big changes in camber and tor from full droop to bump (exactly what you dont want).

the only way to sort it is to relocate the bottom wishbone higher.

done this few times.

drill the top mounts = nearly free

eccentric top mounts = ?65+vat each

golf camber bolts, im yet to find them new though lol

that will sort the camber and is a good working solution but wont alter the wishbone angle or correct the roll centre change that has taken place.
