I need camber
Just installed a set of 15mm spacers in the rear of my xB and now when I hit bumps my wheels hit my fender.
Do they sell anything to get me some camber in the rear?

Nothing is out officially yet, but realcamber.com is almost ready to start selling the xB2 kits. Have spoken to them and they will be out very very soon...I'm looking to getting them as well.
I'm sure Pasquale will chime in soon, he has a test set of camber shims from them and he knows more about when they'll be ready then I do

I'd rather wait instead of trying to rig something up to work.
Wheel specs are 18x8 40 offset, dropped on DF210's. My fenders aren't rolled.
What about the front? They make anything for those yet? It's not my main concern, but the rear is.

Here is the Truth about toe correction.. you can beleive me or not its up to you.. as i myself cant lie to any customer on something i know its not true.
the only right way for toe correction is making the shim specificly for your car. As many certified mechanics know not one car is alike and there is LEft and right sides that are also not alike. Setting the toe involves taking your car to an alignment rack and having a technician correct the toe. They actaully sell kits for the rear to have this done.
We have done research with the first gens.. and its a hit or miss. as we did put the toe correction on the first gens kits but when installed on 3 diff xbs. the only one that was within specs was the one we used to prototype the shim on. the other 2 where off and out of spec and one was even worst than without the shim and also to point out left and right side all mesured differant. We also found that the toe was out of spec with out the shims. So we dont want to misslead anyone and advertise something that we know wasnt true just for a selling point.
Anyone can get the paper work and post it.. but its is so easy to tinker with the number to make it within specs.I know this becuase im capable of doing this myself. We know this very well in Hawaii becuase we have a recon law that every dropped car must get certified and one of the things is alignment. And what most shops do is just tinker with the number so it comes within specs so the cars will pass recon. As long its in the green and not red its all good.
So we could tell you yes we will have toe correction but it will be prob be just for the car we prototype the kit on becuase we have to make sure its close and to check the deg of camber, so we be lieing to everyone else becuase we couldnt be sure if the toe was actaully corrected on the customers car unless we had the car and put it on the alignment rack and actually adjusted the toe on that car.
I know for sure 99% of the guys the will buy this kit will not take there cars to an aligment shop it check there toe on the rears.
