Has anyone figured out the camber situation on aveos? I know that with the mk2 ams mk3 coilovers can't get
Camber, but has anyone done custom fab work for camber?
Thanks.

camber in front is as easy as reaming out the holes on the coil overs a little bit. there is actually some play in them already. but even i am driving around with - 1.5 * on each side with my ride height, about a 1/16" of reaming and i would be able to set 0 *, but then my wheels would rub even when i am going straight.
I have some camber in the front, but im looking to get some in the back.
there are alignment plates for the rear that go behind the backing plates. An alignment place can show you what tabs to cut out to achieve certain camber.
you actually pick up some camber as you go down.. but YnotVW is correct, you need to use alignment plates.
Where is the adjustment done? I was to the understanding that there was no way to do camber in the rear. this will help with my current fitment issue.
you can't pick up enough camber for your issue.. but the spindle bolts onto the beam, they make shim kits that go intobetween that spindle and the beam..
in your case, IF you are really set on fitting those wheels, I would fabricate a "narrowed" rear end. Although I am unsure how you can do the front.
all im going to do about the fitment in wheel well extensions front and rear.
So i found shims but i don't know if they will fit they look very similar to a pic i saw on the rear disk brake conversion thread they have them for alot of golfs rabbits jettas over here they look mean. Since im running the same suspension setup as a mk2 golf i should be able to use them even if i have to re drill them to fit. Ill try to post some pics if any ones interested into the camber thing.
These should work the more i look at it with -1.5 negative camber rolled and pulled rear fenders stretched tires i should be straight.
Attachment 5943this is my goal angle i think this is -2.5
Not a fan of fitment>functional, but it should look good with your setup, good luck friend. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks rocket this is no easy task but it will be rewarding i wanted to make my aveo like yours once upon a time i love what you have done with it but aveos are naturally slower than the rest of the pack and there is no following for performance unless its custom. So ive chosen to take mine to the limits on stance. At first the guys on all the stance websites laughed and poked fun but then once i gave them a parts list that was longer than theirs the talk ceased. Now they want to see whats possible for this Eco cruiser. Especially since im running 15x8 -12offset. If there is one thing ive learned since living in Germany is Aveos are terrible cars "They stick out to much in a crowd of ugly over priced BMW's and Mercedes" Hahahahaha by the way how much for the tune and what are you putting down
The tune for me was about 150$ I believe, but it was cheaper since I was the first to try it, plus a 250$ security charge for the tuner itself. I don't really have any numbers, since I never had it dyno'd but I believe I was quoted a 10% increase in power at the crank, it certainly feels like it.
