Pics of swingaxle cars?

I'm looking for pics of members cars with swingaxle. I have a front disc brake kit with 2.5" drop spindles but have been reluctant to install them because of the camber of dropping the rear. I would like to see some pics of how low I can go without showing a lot of camber on 4.5" wheels.
Thanks,
Scott

The picture in the middle should give you a good idea.

Lambros,
Your car is a swingaxle? I love the stance of your car but always figured it was an IRS.

Scott - Not sure if these shots would help. I think I might have some older shots taken from mid-door level.

Hope this helps

Scott, If you lower your swing axle car to where the finder well lip is just at the rim edge you'll be OK....if you go below the rim edge you'll see the camber quite a bit....and you'll start seeing pretty rapid inside tire wear too. But the low cars sure do look good! Lambros car looks GREAT! When I first purchased my car it was about 1/2" below the wheel rim edge...Boy did it look great....But I hate that camber look from the back and I had about a 2 to 2 1/2 " of travel in my rear suspinion. Yea, it rode like a wooden saw horse. So I raised it up to just a tad over the wheel lip. Much better ride and I can live with the look! 1st pic is before the 2nd pics are after the raise back up.

Well,
After looking at my car closer I'm realizing it is a mute point. There is already rake on my car and slight camber in the rear so if I were to lower the rear more than an inch it would have way to much camber. So I guess I will be selling the disc brake kit or at least the drop spindles. I might lower the rear about .5-.75" but dialing it in may be more trouble than it is worth. And just an update. I got body stripped and have painted everything but the outside of the car black. Am waiting for a nice warm day to get started.

Scott,
I've seen raised trans mounts used to lower VW's. Have you considered that? You could raise your trans and engine in the vehicle. Negative camber would not be an issue doing it that way.

Here's mine.

I have considered raising the trans/engine and using a bus nose cone but my air cleaners are already hitting the body. I'll go out and look how much I could cut them down.
Thanks,
Scott

Here you go Stance is everything!!!

David,

Looks great!!!!!! Are those deep Fuchs? Mahalo

I knew that car would get your blood going, Dale!

Black with Fuchs, Fuch-ing gorgeous!

These'd be the best shots I have, Scott. Mine began life as an IRS chassis, though.
