How do I make camber?
A stupid as that question sounds, it's pretty important at the moment.
I know I can't expect something model specific, but what are some custom ways people have gotten more than stock camber on FWD vehicles?
I noticed xBs are using Van's OTG shims, how do shims alter camber?
Any insight is welcome, I'll just see which applies to my platform - I'm open to lots of ideas.

Since we have the solid rear bar suspension in the back, camber shims basically bolt on the end behind the hubs, and create the lean. Since the shims are angled, the wheels will be angled. Simple as that. I dont know your suspension though so I cant help ya.

So, the shims just angle the entire hub?

if your suspension is anything like a honda's, then it should be pretty easy. drop the car. the rear will camber aggressivley ,where honda people use the old washer trick on the rear UCA bolts to correct the camber back to stockish settings. front, will do the same thing, but to correct/add camber, custom upper control arms (usually cut/weld, because your application is not what people usually want to fix up) will be needed to be able to adjust it. it's a pain, because it's all done underneath the car. camber plates wont work.

you should take pics with your wheels off so we can get a good look...

while a "camber kit" could potentially increase negative camber, depending on its range of adjustment, it is usually designed to correct camber.
there are manufacturers of parts that are aimed to increase negative camber rather than correct [to factory spec].
