    Fixed Camber Plates

    So you just lowered you car, and your wheels are sticking into your fenders, well thats just not cool at all! Well I happen to have a solution for you! I am now making fixed camber plates that will add 2 degrees of negative camber, so you wont have fender clearance issues! You get all the hardware to install and the camber plates.

    Installed

    Here is the install of the plates. Its actually really easy! Only took me like 30mins. Did everything without removing the strut too!

    So, Obviously jack up the car, remove the tire and I ended up having to unbolt my Sway bar too to allow the control arm to fall down.

    Then unbolt the top of the strut from the tower like so...

    Then, with an extension and a small socket, I fit it over the top of the stud in the mount and gave it a good whack..... out they come!

    I was then able to wiggle the plate up in there and fanagle the flat heads in to their locations!

    Jack the strut up and align the studs!!! BAM!


    Results!

    One side (no camber plate)

    Other side with plate (not the most accurate way to measure I know, but that's the best way I could come up with.)

    So these will be painted black before shipping, if you would like other colors let me know and add 5 dollars, if you would like them unpainted let me know and it will be 5 dollars less. But if you make no notes on color you will receive them in black.
    Current pricing is $100 per pair shipped with all of the hardware
    If we can get a group of 10 people they will be $90 shipped
    If we get more than 15 people I will go even lower ;)
    As soon as we get 10 people paid I will start sending them out, or if you want them now you can get them for $100.
    Lets start a list!

                Could these be flipped at all to reduce camber??

                              Holy crap, I want a set. Any idea why you can get 2 degrees, while the Turner fixed plates only get 1.25?

                              PMing you my email as I don't always check this forum.
