Confusing to me but Im not the brightest bulb. Maybe if I saw it in a diagram it would help me. But thanks for the clarification-

As the beam rotates toe out turns into negative camber and negative camber turns into toe in.Last edited by Advancedynamix; 04-16-2016, 07:11 PM.

If your sitting close to -2 degrees then the shims should get you close to -3. I think moog offers different angle choices in those shims.
I can't wait to get my fronts done it already handles pretty good.

Are not suited to stiff springs.Last edited by Advancedynamix; 04-16-2016, 05:11 PM.

What is the factory rear camber for the festiva beam?
I just put a camber gauge on my aspire beam swapped festiva and have about 1.75 negative camber .
My rear has the vw rears with 120 springs all the way up .
I have about 16th toe out in the rear .
I guess my question is Will I be able to achieve the 3 degrees with the moog shims and when I lower the car will I gain + camber and toe?

Like Mike said. Brian, you'll want to have a friend help you get the car to sit level with you in the car. Use a tape measure with the car on flat, level ground. Measure from the ground up to the body seam on all 4 corners.
