Red face Camber for ford fiesta ws?

Ok so I have a 2010 ford fiesta ws and I am wanting to get as much camber as possible.
I have a tiny little bit of camber atm with my solid rear but I've been told I won't get any more then that unless I re-do my rear end.
Because it's a solid rear I can't get camber arms and I was wondering if anyone has a solution?
Or if anyone knows if another ford around the same size has I dependants that will fit? And if so would that even work?

If I've left anything out just say. Please only serious answers

Seems there is nothing on Ebay. Tried a place like Pedders or another suspension shop? Wouldn't hurt to drop in and ask a few questions, may give you a few options.

I've been to pedders and they said unless I can do a whole lot of work and make my rear not a solid read then they don't know any other way.
I don't want to go and have a full new rear made up cause that's too much money

Ok, so there seems to be nothing off the shelf.

What about offset suspension bushes like what Nolathane sell? They are good for a few degrees but need to be installed the right way!

Can an existing part be strategically bent to alter the geometry?? Worked on my Bugeye Sprite but don't know about how your rear end is set up.

Yeah, that could work if there was rear ones.
I'm looking mainly for rear camber.

I could bend it probably but ild prefer not to hey

what do you want more rear camber for on the rear, how much do you want and why. What else is done to the car modification wise.
If I understand the WS rear beam (don't have one myself) the stub axles and brake backing plates etc are bolted onto the beam. If this is the case a tapered shim like Mk1 golfs and renault clios is what you want. They are available in different tapers to suit different cambers, but I don't know if they are available for the WS but wouldn't need re-engineering to have some made up

Yeah I've found lots of things that would probably do it but not for my car.
It's a 2010 ford fiesta mrk7 ws and it's the zetec model.
I want rear camber just to look good lol and I want negative camber.

Id suggest that too much rear camber would ruin the handling of the car.
I'm guessing what you want doesn't exist
But if your after looks then have some 9 degree shims made up and keep of the roads.

How much camber do you want?

Any machine shop should be able to help you out.
Or a performance workshop
Id guess $600-1000 for a drive in drive out service Which Im also guessing you need.

Cheap way....Lift the front up in the air a few feet(6 sounds like a good number) and dump the backside on the ground, so the rear bumper bar is dragging.

Yes, being stupid, but that is the cheapest solution without a complete new rear suspension....

My best advise....stick with what you have, or buy another car that can be played round with in that area
