Ive seen a few snippets of information regarding this, does someone do a set of stub axles allready machined/modified with neg camber, anyone prepared to do it or look into it if it hasnt been done allready?

The ZX beams i beleive have more toe in than a 306, is this done with the arms, or stub axles or what?, if it was stub axles could you rotate the pins circa 90 degrees to get camber?

many thoughts crossing my mind, but im sure you guys have had these same thoughts many moons before now. cheers

Midlife has a negative camber rear setup, Miles also offers this service too but it does involve machining of spindles etc. Best to get in touch with them directly.

Zx arms have 0 toe and 1.something negative camber. Its not achieved by the pin itself so rotating it wont do anything.
Pm crf450 on here about machining your arms

No, 6 beams have a little camber and toe. Its the rear disc equipped zx arms your after, getting fairly rare now I would think.
I know of several people who run them on 205s and rate them highly.

The ride height will not affect rear toe.

as they have quite a bit of rear camber you'll introduce some as you go lower, you don't notice it as much on the 306 as they have toe in but not as much camber.

Xsara's have a lot of toe in.

The beams are rarely the same from side to side anyway, you need to measure them first and go from there really
