Bringing this thread back rather than starting a new one.
Well I finally got a D13 and I'm wrapping up the ergonomics and mechanical restoration to vintage legal, and planning shakedowns with the local autocrossing crowd.

After several sessions running around the neighborhood and skid-padding around cul-de-sacs, I realize that it's stupid to guess on setting up the suspensions, and need advice.
So I take it that caster is set by the frame, but that I could change it using shims between the frame and beam if I wanted to. I'm more concerned with camber and toe for starters. Shooting completely in the dark, I randomly loaded the mounting pins with all the shims that were originally on the car but used 5 more on the bottom pin on each side to give me some negative camber. Tire wear indicates that I have a little, but another FV driver said I'd probably get into some binding with this 'setup'.
What's the right way of setting up negative camber and how do I go about measuring accurately?
