Title: Camber compensator Post by: pamo on May 03, 2014, 23:52:47 pm Hey guys, just wondering the advantages/disadvantages (if any) of running a camber compensator?
I will be running a late 1500 swing axel box with a 150hp 2110 engine in a 63 bug. I am also panning to run MH racemasters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
