I am in need of some negative camber in the rear! I daily my fit, what would be the most safe way of achieving negative camber?

Why do you want more negative camber? Are you lowered?

I know some guys that have shims the spindle plates. Many will disagree with this but these guys are also racing. So theres mixed reviews there.

I will be lowered, not a fan of the whole shim thing. If that is my last resort I guess I can suffice.

you'll have to shim the rear if you want to adjust your rear alignment...

How much camber are you looking for? How much are you trying to drop the car?

I have -3* in the front and -2* in the rear. I'm gonna try and get -3 with a shim soon.

I plan on lowering it as low as possible with either 16x8+15 or 16x9+30. I would love to have -3 all around. I wish I can have -5 but I am pretty sure that is impossible....

I was running almost -6 degrees in the rear with this mod so it wouldn't be a problem getting that with this mod.

This is a tough one. Like I mentioned before I know a few guys on shims racing SCCA and have been for a while. I'm debuting myself on this since I really want to get more camber in the rear.

Who makes full contact plates?

You need something like this... but for a fit. Someone just needs to make one custom and make a bunch and sell them. I was going to do it a couple years ago when I was doing shows. But got into racing and don't need that.
