      Those are made for the K-sport coilovers, not stock-type springs.

        haha, guess not. Just trying to save a buck and saw these. What do you suggest as a substitute for the OEM strut mounts? Im running an e36 5 lug swap, so E36 bili sports in the front, and e30 bili's in the rear. Just ordered IE3's all the way around. (it's a build car, and yes it's my first so sorry for my lack of some general knowledge, but you have to learn somehow.)

              Might want to consider they lower the car close to another 3/4 of an inch. (GC Plates that is.)

                  This is the deal with those camber plates. There are lots of them , made in Taiwan, for 240SX, RSX, Toyotas, etc, and they are all the same.

                  The problem is that you are 100% on your own when it comes to figuring out how to attach your spring and strut.

                  They do not come with adapters or nuts to attach your strut into the camber plate. They also do not come with a spring perch, and there is no spring perch available. You need to make something. And most of the time when people make something or adapt something, it just never works well.

                  The JDM forums are full of all kinds of things that guys have made to get the plates to work, but it is just not the same as an integrated solution.

                  (especially one with a guarantee that all the parts will fit and will last)
