my hr31 coupe has the inner mounts on Xmember moved upwards and at the 2.5" lowered height runs similar camber to standard. was like that when i bought it. a mate got his 31 coupe rear end straightend up by ithink fulcrum which bend the Aarms to suit whatever caster and camber you want. old triumph trick they say. sits realy good and u cant tell by looking at it.

Cheers jon!! Yea i have also been thinking of moving the entire inner mounts up just dont no the best way to do it? Weater cut them off and add a filler peice or just cut them off and remake new ones. Just not to sure about it. I been looking at wat datsport do to 1600 s and getting ideas. They basically run new mountd that are slotted but allow adjustment and can be locked in place. Im gonna pull the rear end out soon and have a go at something. Just have nfi wat im gonna do lol

haha yeah straight in the deep end. ill take a pic of the mod'd setup in my coupe when i get a chance maybe help? could have done it a bit neater myself but it works and was done a long time ago. think ive said it before but the hr31 rear end has toe adjustment on the inner mount but does nothing for camber correction.

Haha thats it! Man thatd be a huge help! Cars got kmac eccentric bushs in both inners and outers and its a pain to w/a. The best i can get is 1mm toe in and 3 deg camber. Im wanting to try get camber to 1 deg.. also thinking of changing tge outer bush back to normal. I no most guys only change the inner?

Hey sorry to revive an old thread but did anyone have any luck with this.

I'm at the point now of giving it a go but have no idea where to start.

any idea's on the best method? moving the mounts or fabricating a rose joint onto the trailing arm?
