James, I have to admit that I haven't been following this thread too closely and don't even know which model Spit you have. But I can tell you from experience that the dampers also affect the rear camber. Later cars with the longer axles and swing spring normally sit in an exaggerated negative camber situation and the earlier cars would normally sit pretty much straight up. Using longer than normal shocks or gas charged ones will make the unloaded rear end sit too high and therefore develop positive camber. Check the following things. 1. If you have a later car, see if the axles are the right length for your application 2. See if the shocks (dampers) are correct for your car.
