This is a question to all my low riding lovers.

although GC's new design looks pretty darn nice...

I have the old GC plates, never had any problems with them (spun out and hit a curb held up just fine)

fwiw I run Vorshlag plates, and they have been awesome, although GC's new design looks pretty darn nice...

lolololol camber plates useless? tell that to the guys who track their cars and actually care to get the most out of their suspension

Here are the differences:


Ireland makes two products, one of which is clearly a "camber plate" because it completely replaces the stock upper mount, while the less expensive option you have mentioned is more like a "plate for camber" that bolts up offset between your old upper mount and the body.

The Ireland camber plate is closer in price to the Ground Control Camber/Caster Plate


Here is a pic of the Ground Control "Touring" Camber/caster plate which is $298 List price, but there is an R3V discount if you look in the archives.

Ground Control also has, specifically made for the e30 chassis, a RACE plate, a RALLY plate, a STREET PREPARED plate, a SPEC-e30 plate, in addition to the new "TOURING" plate. Ground Control believes this is a better solution than just having one generic e30 plate, with different spring perches that are bought seperately.

Have you actually looked under the front of an E30? there is nowhere on a standard E30 strut that you can place shims resulting in camber.

E36 Suspension??? yes you can shim the strut to hub mount on those.

your stay here appears that it may be short and your website is hurting my eyes

there is some really good info being shared in this thread, kinda of making me reconsider my camber plate purchase. Wish i would have went with the GC camber caster plates for $40 more...

Stop spreading bullshit in the technical section, save it for off topic.

IE has a plate for half the price what's the differnce between the GC plate and the IE plate.

just stick some shim plates behind the bearing and wallah, instant camber.

Explain yourself.

Camber plates in theory dont help with low, camber by itself doesnt do much to help. BUT the shorter stack height is crucial on a car that struggles with strut travel. Not all plates are shorter, some IE ones are terrible. Try GCs offering if you have some cash, possibly some cosmo ones if you're willing to go cheaper, but a product there is not as much info on.

fuck camber plates. they are pointless and irrelevant.

wut.

Vorschlag makes the best camber plates IMO
