The rear camber mod is achieved by moving the hole down by 20mm which reduces the camber on the rear wheels when you drop the height by approx 40mm. Welding plates over the original holes will keep the strength in the bracket.
This is a mod that was done by somebody called ben copeland years ago. I just wanted to know if anybody had done it and if there were any drawbacks
