universal camber plates
Monday, May 23, 2011 7:23 PM
i ran into these on ebay.. they look really good and i may try getting these for my b&g coilovers that are comming in. i thought i would share these with everone .. all you have to do is drill your own strut mount holes.

Yeah I saw those a while ago. I emailed them to see what the bearing diameter was but didn't get a response.

I am running his camber plates. He once made a set specifically for J's and I was lucky enough to get a set.

A lot of machine work went into making my setup work however.

You also have to come up with a way to fill in the spherical bearing hole.. Our struts are not thick enough and will cause slop.

I had to slot 2 holes in the plate. Might as well have been a universal setup!

So basically you have to drill and tap your own holes (you could get away with a nut on the bottom instead of tapping the plate) and make a sleeve for the bearing to strut interface. Not bad at all.

But then again I have a machine shop in my garage... haha.

If I wasn't trying to order some R5's I'd be all over these.

The ads Ive seen before didnt have the measurements on them at all. Maybe thats why he changed the pictures. I didnt wait for the entire ad to load yesterday as I was on my phone. Just clicked the link and saw the auction title and came back.

Not a bad deal. I wouldn't even bother with a sleeve inside the bearing. I'd just replace the entire thing with one that has the correct dimension for whatever strut I had.

Exactly.. The only tapped hole is the outter. Running a nut/bolt combo on the inner 2 holes.

That blue tophat is different then the tophat I have for my GC's. Where is it from? Is it mookeh specific?

I was definitely looking into these as my stock mounts need replaced and want to go solid and camber plates would be a plus. Definitely cheap and doesnt seem like too much modding needed to make work. Ill be trying to use these with basics

The blue mounts are random pieces I found in my garage. I have no idea how i aquired them.

next thing that needs measured is to see if the adjustment bolts fit in our strut tower holes side to side...

They do seem a little wide.

Re: universal camber plates
Thursday, May 26, 2011 6:24 PM
This would be for the fronts only. Camber adjustable? Of Course . WE could even do Caster for an extra $50

Re: universal camber plates

No I meant a gp for the rears as well. Im looking at getting both front and rears.

If so consider a set of both from me...I have money waiting.

It's impossible with rear trailing arms, all you would be doing is changing the angle of the strut, the camber of the rear wheels is held steady by the rear hub mounts. So you have to use camber shims.
