Why do you want to alter the camber?

Hi!

You need a set of camber plates!

I've installed one set of brand "ta technix" that permit up to 4 grades of negative camber!

Best regards!

Is there a measurable gain from negative camber or is it just cosmetic snake oil that reduces tyre life?

Hi Ricmondo!

Depending of your type of conduction, if you only have the polo for daily car and you uses it to go work, university or something like that you really don't need this camber plates.

No doubt if you uses the car in trackdays (like me), go to route or simply want to reduce the swing and subviragem you need one set of this!

Best regards.

Hi!

Our polo's has the rear axe fixed. You can't get negative camber in it with springs...

Only with a coilovers/neumatic suspension that permit to adjust negative camber in both axes.

Best regards!!!!

And you can get it, but only in the front axe Without "traps"...

The truth is that where the improvement of feel to camber in a car with front-wheel drive is on the front axle :)
