Sandeep: so you made an adjustment similar to Porsche 924/944. OK, but I want zero camber, and I dont need an adjustment...hopefully.
But has anyone done an adjustable or fixed camber-box into a beetle???

Justin,
You don't want zero camber, it'll handle like a pig!
I spent a lot of time on my Oval swapping the rear IRS arms over side to side (relocating the shocker mount on the other side of each arm etc) to get zero (or close to) camber. I achieved it too... but it would not handle. I tried different tracking settings, but as I had swapped the arms over I was limited to about 0.3 negative camber and the car simply would not go around corners, apart from sideways (
) which is great for fun but not when you want to go fast.
If you look at factory settings for the Beetle, they are listed as -1o + or - '40.
So negative camber does not always equal tire wear.. but mis-alignment and over the top settings will.
The factory setting for the 944 are similar at -1o + or - '20.
