Who's Experienced With Fixed Camber Plates?

[Lof8]

I'm looking at fixed plates for simplicity and cost. I figure I don't need to be making a lot of camber adjustments, I'd just like to get a little more negative camber. I've found Ireland Engineering that claim to increase 1.25 degrees for $135 and Turner claims .75 degree increase for $140.

It seems that fixed plates will increase the ride height the thickness of the plate (minimal). Does that seem correct?

Anyone have experience with these or other fixed plates? Which ones are preferred?

You are correct, your ride height will increase by the thickness of the plate.

I have Turner fixed camber plates. They really improved turn-in, and I haven't really seen a problem with uneven tire wear.

I have the ireland engineering ones for sale, the kind that use the stock upper strut mount but they ARE adjustable. add about 1/4inch to your ride height up front. 100 dollars shipped.

don't do it. save a bit more money and get adjustable ones - fixed will still be an improvement, but you won't be able to fine tune your settings using tire temps as a guide.

get plates with the least amount of stack height possible.

heres my .02

i set up my caR 5 YRS AGO TO be a track toy. To save funds initially i did not go c/o...

so i went for fixed plates. Set it and forget it. i went for max camber at neg 3.....the plates are now NLA. They have been great.........100%.........really....dont worry about set up and adjustment, not if you want to save. Dont forget having having a straight unbent car helps. If you were racing for big wins Id say get adjustables of course.........but for low level track fun..get fixed.

and yes you will rise up the thickness of the plt....no biggie. With lowering springs you wont notice much..HR race here...if u wait a few mos you can have mine ( by RRT)...for 70.00.

I had them with my HR race and were fine, raises about 8mm.. hardly noticeable. I cant remember exactly from the last alignment, but the camber may have been around -2.7*
