hay guys

just installed k-mac super lows, all good except just by looking u can see maga toe in on the rear. I have been told that magnas dont have ajustable rear toe, So is this true and if not how can i straightin them up. dont realy want my tyres to scrub out.

many magnas out there lower than me how do u go with tyre wear??

Are you sure you don't mean camber?

If you installed them yourself did you get an alignment afterwards?

magnas do have adjustable toe at the rear...

my car has heaps of nec cmber and toe in on the rear and my tyrs are fine.... and considering 50% of my engine power goes there the wear is less than on the front..

so in a fwd id say you will be fine untill you find an aligner with a brain

not yet just finished doin it tonight. went back to stock for a while and just decided to put them back in. even before with an alignment they still scrubed badly on the rear. do camber kit only do - or can they go + as well?

Yeah they have a toe adjuster in the rear but not a camber adjuster but i think you can get a kit for camber adjustment.

Yeah a good wheel aligner is as rare as hens teeth.

I can highly recommend one in Melbourne Southern suburbs being Tyrepower Mornington. The best i have ever come across, and i make the effort to travel 50 mins just to go there when there is a joint just round the corner i could go to.

thanks for the recomendation but i live in far north qld near Cairns

talked to the best mechanic in town who has an aligner and he said the same thing, toe adjustment but know camber.

priced an upper inner adjustable control arm for camber through nolathane at work today
$450 retail staff price $220

I thought I had the same problem, but when I got a wheel alignment, toe was minimal/normal. I think it just looks that way because of the way the rear quarter panel curves?
