Tom, Scott, and all,

In addition to the rear springs and trailing arm brackets affecting rear
camber on the TR6, I discovered that the trailing arm bushings are also
involved. My TR6 had the usual negative rear camber sagging look even
with hd springs and spacers (the springs are shorter than stock). I
replaced the trailing arm bushings with hd TriumphTune trailing arm
bushings, and when the car was came off the jack, I had noticable
positive camber. I removed the spacers, and now the car sits very
nicely, with just a bit of negative camber, even when the trunk is
filled with all of the stuff I will need to make it to Ft. Worth and
back. The rubber in the trailing arm bushings was cut all the way to the
metal sleeve in the center by the trailing arm. Hope this helps.
