Polo GTI, Rear Toe Out Shim Ajusters.

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.

Well then can anyone find out any data on these (whiteline wouldn't) just the thickness from one end to the other will do for now. So I can muck about with getting some made & after what Neil has mentioned may be not as savage. I will also look at getting extras made.
P.S. Me want.

Eddy, would you mind elaborating on the rear tyre wear, as in how bad?? Is your suspension stock? Is it a result of mods?
Or PM if it's too far off topic. I'm tracking mine this weekend, it's all stock atm, but got H&R springs awaiting my pick-up

Hoyhoy.
Well my suspension is changed & on the track the rubber just peeled off the rears while the front was ok & this after dropping the pressures several times, can't say any thing about standard set up, haven't been there.
You might find that your set up will be ok as is.
P.S. Me also a fussy bugger.

Hi Eddy,

If you can work out the width of the plate (maybe measure the spacing of the bolts), then compare this with the diameter of the wheel, you can work out how much toe-out you will get by varying the thickness of the plate..

E.g. of the plate is 100m wide, and the wheel 600, if the plate is 1mm thicker at the front, you'll get 3mm toe-out (assuming you start with 3mm toe-in).

I reckon you should get a few sets of plates with different thicknesses made up at the same time. Maybe you could also vary the thickness top to bottom to change the camber? (assuming you felt the need to do so).

Feel free to correct my maths if I've gone awry.

Cheers,

-Phil.
