Mac @ 41 does Blox, KSport, Skunk2 and J's ones. FBI Auckland and Hamilton do Skunk2, I'm pretty sure the Auckland store has some in stock.

I would go for the Skunk2 ones. They are very well built and will go the distance.

Have a talk to FBI. They are local and should have em in stock.

thanks for the reccomendations guys.

We were out of stock but I sold him my own personnel set, yet to be installed on the EG...will have to order a bunch more I guess!!

Remember to try some of the MFactory ones to adam.

What a polite and helpful guy he was too

Note, why are we doing this ?

There is the theory that as our car is setup a little higher than most the other ITR's on Targa (due to 16" wheels/wilwoods and also its been bottoming out due to prior lack of bump rate on the shocks) that the natural articulated camber on the rear was to too little and thus causing some stap oversteer on bumps.

All theory !

What amount of camber are you planing to run in the rear?

I believe only a little, but the factory arms dont allow for any rear camber adjustmnet. Of course it relative to what you set the front too.

PS. I'm only taking advice from Stocks and their workshop managers choosen 'expert'.

I'll post full setup info once we get it back.

Oh yer. From memory we had around 1 to 1.5 degrees of rear camber in my teg for targa.

Hmmm, sounds like too much for tarmac rallying, would be good for the circuit.

I'd run .5 for the rear and about 1.5 in the front.

Ill post up the specs shortly, but he has dialed in a bit on the rear (slightly less than the front). Whats the disadvantage of too much rear camber other than potential tyre wear ?

Just thinking about what Tyson said, I'd imagine you would want to run less negative camber on a targa car to compensate for the crown in the road (runoff either side for water) so effectively you would have a better contact patch and wouldn't be chasing the car with the steering wheel everywhere

In Theory

yes - more negative camber means the car tracks the road better - which is great if its smooth - but on bumpy roads it means it tries to follow the bumps...if that makes sense
