dumb question maybe someone can help.

planning to start modding my ge, like my last car the rear is unable to camber [which sucks]however im not trying to pull the fenders. i was wondering if anyone has tried to swap a GD rear axle and if its possible, in order to have camber rather than having to cut+weld the ge's axle for camber.
any input would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Be easier just to switch to another car so you can camber to your hearts content.

I doubt a GD rear would work on a GE8.

I don't think teo ever got a price (or posted it) on the one in the thread.... there was a GE8 rear linked on the insightcentral forums which you could camber, but I never found that thread again.


Or you could look in to the JDM RS rear axle (Alpina's ) thread, and see if the JDM rear can be shimmed like the GD to get some camber.

Was going to post same link but I found this actual vendor indicating he can get the rear axle but no price.

Ideas for torsion beam rear suspension & camber

Ive seen that axle along with another one that allows for camber adjustment however shipping cost into the states is way too much for something that size and weight.
Kenchan that's what I am trying to Avoid along with having my fenders messed up. For right now I'm not in a rush since I'm still gathering my parts but it's something of interest.
However thanks for all the replies
