IRS alignment setting for wide rear tires

Do you have steel, early or late aluminum trailing arms.??

I think the aluminum arms have camber,toe and ride height adjustability.

if you dont have Porsche trailing arms and you are using VW arms, you could always swap sides with the arms and reverse them. This will eliminate about 3 decrees of negative camber.

Thats cool!! Does it affect the ride or performance??

Ahhh... it is sooo nice having bolted-on front pivots ! Once I had my ride height set, I just loosened them and tapped themaround until the 265's had a nice even contact patch.

Hey Vujade, my custom arms don't have a left/right. I guess somehow that little degree of twist can be left out?

Good suggestions ... I have the stock beetle arms.

Panel, where did you get the bolt on pivots ? Does anyone know if something like this exists for racing purposes ? Would be cool to be able to adjust camber at the track.

944 spring plates have camber adjustments

Mine wern't really intended to be "adjustable". My bus has a conversion kit that takes it from swing to IRS. This particular kit (busboys) has bolt on pivots instead of weld on. I just use the bolt on part to my advantage. If you look at the chassis on a racing 911 (I think there is a pic in the gallery), the front pivot is a hiem instead of rubber bushed and the mount is slotted vertically for adjustment. You could do something real similar on a street setup.
