I'm confused...don't you already have these for sale on your website? Or is there something that I'm missing? http://www.overkillengineeringmotorsports.com/frjsomo.html

Don't you have it set up to just select "camber" under the type? Or is the difference that this is camber AND caster? Maybe that's it. At any rate, your camber plates on your website look awesome - is $169.99 for the pair? (Then +$60 for camber adjustment and +$10 for non-coilover if I was going to use them with AGX's).

And since we're kinda on the topic, for someone who's a bit of a suspension dummy (not entirely, but no genius), how exactly does the camber (and/or caster, if you have it) adjustment work? Is this mostly just for techs to use when doing an alignment, or is this something that you could, say, have your alignment done and zeroed out, and then dial in the camber that you want for certain situations (i.e. run it near 0 for daily driving and such, and then set it to say -2 degrees for autocross day)? If it's the latter, then I can definitely see the advantage to this. But an awesome product regardless.

Yep you pretty much hit it on the head. With being able to adjust your able to move it in and out without going back to get an alignment every time, and also not hack up your strut towers as well. Camber AND caster is a new item we are going to be testing soon. I know that when I lowered my car it throws the camber about 1-2* off and the caster is off a bit as well now. Its one of those things that is nice to have, because if you need it down the road its already there.

Hmm... *me thinking about saving up a bit more when it's time to do shocks/springs*

If you want someone to test your solid camber mounts with airride, i'll be willing.


Just tossing it out there.

I think aluminum would have been a better choice of material, but maybe that's just me.

























JK. They look good.

They are flat steel plates with rubber coated washers and a nylon lock nut to hold them down. They're decent for the rear, but i hate them up front.

Re: Camber/Caster Plates

that's pretty cool. i pretty much understand what those are used for, can't say that i KNOW HOW they really work.
either way, am in the process of getting d-specs and "unknown" springs that will last the northern roads. i would be interested in this as well sometime this summer.

Caster adjustment might convince me to give up my mcmoney plates

How do those mount to the strut towers? It looks like the bottom half sits underneath the tower and the top half sits above?
