Default New Product: Rear Camber Eccentric Bolts

Improves handling and tire wear with wide rear tires!

The Problem: Customers find that once they install wider rear tires and wheels, their rear camber jumps to such a high degree they can no longer get even tire wear. The tire is running on the inside corners all the time. Worse, their braking and cornering performance is diminished, and they are not getting the benefit of those wide wheels and tires they just bought.

The Solution: Our custom rear camber eccentric bolts will add 3mm more camber adjustment range to your car, so you can get your rear alignment back within spec, increasing your performance and tire life.

Quality Made: We start with the Porsche® factory camber bolts, so you know they not only fit, but they are the right part for your car. We had material added to the outside of the eccentrics, then re-ground them to relocate the ellipse, and had them plated in yellow-chromate for lasting good looks and rust resistance. Top quality all the way.

Easy Installation: Instructions included. The slotted hole in the rear cross-member will need to be enlarged by 3mm to take advantage of the new camber range you have now. This can be done with a Dremel tool or die grinder with the suspension in the car.

Carl, these look very nice. Did we put these in my Spyder during the suspension update with rear tie downs? If not, I probably need a set since I'm moving to a 295 rear tire next week and will be going for an alignment afterwards - seems like the right time to change them if they're not already in there. Thanks.

No - these were not installed in your car, because they didn't exist at that time (they were in development).

so for the 6 speed conversion kits do you support users grinding out the clearancing for these? I probably need a set but I don't want to cut/grind the modified cross member parts... btw I have a good non ground up cross member for the camber bolt areas.... in case cores are needed...

That's a great question since I have the 6-speed conversion too.

Yes, these products are very compatible with our 6-speed conversions and do not weaken the parts at all.

Yes, if you have a late-model rear cross-member (1986.5 and up) laying around I would purchase it from you. We pay $80 each for them. It will be used as a core.

$120 for two bolts? I wish my nuts were worth that much......

One assumes the base Porsche part serving as feedstock must be expensive.

What I want to see is a video of Pete driving his convertible hard enough on street tires to knock the camber alignments out of spec.
