Hi

They do have limited toe and camber adjustment from the factory.

You slide them back and forth for toe and the camber is set by angling or scissoring the trailing arms relative to the spring plate.

The camber adjustment is hard to put into words but I will try. Imagine if you had your trailing arms just loose enough on the spring plate so that you could move them up and down with a little force, push down on the trailing arm for negative camber and lift it up for positive camber. To get as much positive camber as possible, have a jack lifting under the lower shock mount as you tighten the bolts.

You can always fit 944 arms.

was looking at them last night with a few mates and we all thought the best way was to make the inner mount adjustable in the vertical plane only but this is mildly difficult cause of the way its bolted in with a captive nut in the frame horns. an offset bush was talked about but this would affect camber and toe and that is a right pain in the arse to adjust evenly at the track.
