      How long have you had them on? And would you recommend using these camber plates?

      Any input would be greatly appreciated

              You're still on this website? You don't even own a car? Didn't you get chased off after it was found out that you are a big liar about everything and don't even own a car? Oh I see you waited till the heat cooled off and slowly slipped back in. Great job!

                Honestly they tightened up my steering a lot because they don't have a bearing like GC does. Cosmo went half assed with it but quality besides that is damn good. I have no complaints other than that. If you buy them make sure you grease up every moving part on the camber plates.

                  I'm running cosmo coilovers(from the kit) and Camber plates. All the parts seem to be reasonable quality, Which is pretty damn good for the money. I'd recomend them to anyone looking for camber plates. If you order from their site instead of ebay they are quite a bit cheaper too, I think i paid like $130 for my plates.

                  The one issue with the plates is that there is no washer included to seperate the spring hat from the spherical bearing, without a few washers things bind up, luckily i was able to machine some aluminum spaces to resolve the issue.

                  Ill post some pictures and do a better writeup later.

                    my concern is: does it pivot at the actual eye joint or does it turn the actual shock (hard for me to put in words)? that to me just doesnt feel like it'd be good internally for the shock absorber, like it'd where the inside walls out badly..

                    and eye joints arent really made to move that way are they?

                    reason i say this is because the front suspension of these cars (mcpherson style) require ball bearings in the top mounts so when you turn, the whole assembly turns together... i just dont want to damage my shocks that i spent my (notsomuch) money i have

                      I have these camber plates on my E34, I would suggest spending the extra coin on the Ground Control plates, as they don't turn well in the direction as stated above. I get sound from my springs as they bind and unbind when i turn.
                      The need to space them as well to keep them from totally binding is also not cool, as they should be designed in a way that avoids that.

                      Once I get enough coin, I am going to get rid of these and buy the ground control ones with the spring hat built right in...
