        Great reference for me, it would be awesome if you can get a closeup of the strut/spring/camber plate.

        Thanks..

              Any diagram for the camber plates? I want to make sure all the rings and washers and everything are right.

                Look back a bit in the thread. You'll see a post stating if you pm the guy from IE, he'll email it to you.

                  Forgot to print them out. Pm me your email address and I'll send you the pdf

                  Also it appears I'm down to my last set of coilovers and camber plates. I'd prefer selling them together.

                    Banks for the doc. You however gave us 3 spacers and I only see two in the diagram. Did you give us one extra just in case?

                        Are you going to continue selling the coilover setups in the near future? (and the IE plates or your own design?)

                        Id be keen for a set for my racecar in a month or 2, just need to find some new housings (current race setup is using bent struts to give more camber, but with camber tops i dont need the bend i have currently, it also kills my wheel choice without spacers currently running a 15x8 +10 and that is about the most backspace i can have before tire touches strut....)

                          I curently have one spacer under the top nut and one spacer between the spring hat the the camber plates spherical bearing. Is that correct?
                          I get some popping noises like others had reported when i hit bumps in the road.

                            Your should have 3 spacers. One goes on top and two go on the bottom.

                            I'm probably going to release a race friendly version that will be known as the "Black Line". The sleeves will be black and the adjusters will be a satin finish silver. It will use 2.25 rear springs and 60mm front springs to allow you to have access to a large selection of spring rates. I'll even do special pricing for people who want to order multiple springs for their track car. It will be a limited run of 32 sets.

                              Just to make sure about the "sleeve shim." Did that come with the plates? It looks like something that is stationary on the actual strut.
