Does anyone know what camber change an irs suspension goes through as it's compressed (or when the rear is lowered)?

Should go to slight negative camber... Not nearly as sever as swingaxle...

| I made some excentric bolts to counteract that action. |

I knew that it wasn't nearly as much as a swingaxle, Dale; I'm hoping someone knows how much. For example, what's the difference from standard ride height to lowered 2"?
Mark- Would you be able to take a pic of those?

| Hmm, well I turned my torsion bars down to raise mine as far as I could with stock CVs and I had no noticeable change in camber. |

| no I dont do pics. they can be machined with a offset & then a tube slid over them to bring back to size add some antiseeze between.there are other ways of doing it also.it also can be used to affect toe at the same time so that has to be checked while your doing it. |

| I had my car down two inner splines for a short period, and the top of the tire was inward about a half an inch more. The two splines was quite low, and I ended up going back up two splines in the end. What's a half inch over a 25 inch diameter tire, maybe 4-5 degrees? |
