Hi,

Im using 7jj 16" league rim.But the thing is i dont know the offset.

Soon,im going to install either Tein with EDFC or Airsuspension offered by Bitrade.com
So the thing is,i just wanted to know any sifu for myvi,what the best size of offset for myvi if im using 16"rim so that my rim could go inside the fender just like the VIP style.

Thus,can myvi rear axle chamber can changed to adjustable chamber.So i could negative up the chamber just like front and low my ride as the Bippu style.
Please help.

Thanks a million.

adjust camber doesnt mean u can lower ur car even more... if u wanna go for Bippu style, get air suspension instead of TEIN coilovers...

Hahaha.. I guess the negative (No) with ability (can do) confused you a bit there.

Idiom Definitions for 'No can do'
No can do means that the speaker can't do whatever it is that has been asked of him or her.

That can be done with a welding torch, not camber screws. You cannot adjust with normal method. You'd have to 'operate' to get it done. Anyway, from that pic, it's hard to see. It looks like negative camber but without a straight shot, it's hard to tell.

Like we all said, you can't adjust the rear, not in a tyre shop anyway. So you can continue laughing but at yourself.

I thought you were talking about some major negative camber. My stock OEM negative rear camber is just as much as that without the need to adjust, so that picture didn't really mean much. I thought I was suppose to be looking out for some bling bling camber in that picture. Anyway, since you think it can be done, please do go ahead. You don't need to ask anymore. Just like people do not ask whether Proton Wira's camber can be adjusted or not because it can be done with a simple adjustable camber screw.

Interesting pic. Why would anybody want to put a strut bar on a torsion beam? That beam is like 20 times bigger than the strut bar. Sigh... I should start collecting mods like this and make it into a book and call it "Adventures of the Misinformed modders".

i think thats an antiroll bar.like on iswara the beam actually 2 parts can twist in different direction so it's somewhat semi-independant rear suspension.antiroll bar supposed to limit that twisting hence less roll.im not sure its the same for myvi.cant see clearly in that pic

torsion beams are not a piece of solid shit that make your tyre straight all the way. Torsion beam do flex and your rear tyre do act differently left and right.

Y torsion beams can flex? it's to prevent breaking the torsion beam. It's like an antiroll bar that control your left and right tyre. Additional antiroll bar can be added to decrease the different on your left and right tyre.

Most old school car have a very stiff torsion beam, but not on newer car. Do you know iswara/waga got ori antiroll bar built in?

you were correct. by using independant rear suspension, a torsion beam is somehow act like antiroll bar. Just that manufacture use bigger structure for it to improve the durability so that the torsion beam can last for many years without breaking itself while on uneven road. An antiroll bar is added on oem iswara/saga behind the torsion beam so usually people wont notice it. So to whose that say torsion beam no need antiroll bar, pls think twice. I still remember somebody do try to argue with me in my UR thread...But it's ok for discussions..

Your question has already been answered.Most ppl say torsion beam cant adjust camber without heavy modification unlike independant strut which has camber screws. If you think we're joking or blind, pls go ahead to your nearest bolehland workshop and get it done.

(That is if you think its worth it to spend money on the modification and unevenly wearing out your tyres just to look cool)

Yeap, i can't agree more, last time I also thought the torsion beam is solid and won't flex easily, I was wrong, the torsion beam is actually very flexible, don't believe me? wait until you guys remove rear wheels , shocks and springs, ask your friend to hold the trailing arm on one side and you try to move the arm on the other side, it is very easy to flex. remember, torsion beam is actually not a cylinder tube, it is half cylinder or 'C' shape, that's why it's easily to flex.
