Camber plates... 2010 version.

[Capaldi_PartsGuy]

Okay I finally obtained the prototypes. I'm getting quotes for production. I need a firm yes from those who will buy these. We will only be doing "Race" versions this time. Don't take this the wrong way but... Don't ask about price. I won't know until I know how many we are making.

[Dan Meray]

Can you explain the "race" version versus the street version?

[paulhaskew]

I need a set asap... It is either these or the kmac plates...

[Queen Jade]

I'm in the market for camber plates and if these are conducive to auto-x yet easy to keep for the street, then I will probably take a set. Hell I guess even if it wasn't street friendly, I would probably take a set. I would just swap them out the day before each auto-x. X2 on the explanation of a race set vs a street set please.

Thanks for the update. I was hoping you guys would have them near production this year.

Ya kinda curious on what the difference will be?

[lapp4sm]

I believe that the street version uses polyurethane and the race is all metal, with a spherical bearing. A little more road noise/vibration. More adjustment out of the race version also.

[Nickgt40]

I'll definitely be interested in a street set.

[NewtzZx3]

the old street version had the same spherical bearing, but with a poly bushing surrounding the bearing mount, whereas the race did not include the bushing.

the net result was that the extra width that the poly bushing added to the center bearing reduced the available lateral movement, so they had less adjustment range than the race. the extra range on the race is still only attainable if you have coil overs with smaller diameter springs, because with oem struts and springs, the coil hits the shock tower before the race plates are out of adjustment.

hope thats all accurate, don't wanna put too many words in LCR's mouth

I have the two motor mounts and the lower transmission mount on my car; noise and rattle I can handle. I need camber sooo bad!

That was something I was interested in as well; I have H&R coilovers and when I tried fitting a set of SPCs (I was desperate, what can I say...) the coil hit the shock. I have a friend sending me a set of Eibach springs for the front that are like 2.5" in diameter at least that would help with that. Are you sure its not the opposite? Forgive me, I'm new to this so I'm just trying to figure it out....

well, if the SPC plates work the way i remember, those are a flawed design because they move the strut rod bolt but leave the spring perch stationary, so i you have smaller diameter springs with coil-overs, its possible that they would move the strut rod too close to the spring.

That design is a problem because the spring can bind up due to the misalignment.

the LCR plates are not like that, the strut rod and spring perch move as one piece, the whole bearing assembly moves within a slot in the top plate, so you shouldn't have the problem of the strut hitting the spring.

So having a normal diameter spring which is what...2" maybe....isn't a problem? How well do these work with a coilover setup like the H&Rs? For example...FSWerks Camber Plates require springs and new top hats to fit correctly with H&Rs. Is that the case here?

[Capaldi_PartsGuy]

The difference between the race and street was the urethane between the plate and the bearing as was described above. The urethane had a tendency to separate under high loads. (like rally driving!)

I cant show pics yet... Just know they are very similar to the old race plates. These new plates are going to be nice. As far as clearance I know Leo made them a little smaller to try to clear all installations. Once I get some functional prototypes we will be looking for a few cars with different set-ups to test on I would think. Ill let you locals in on it when its time.

For those wondering, I don't think these "race" plates are really going to be too harsh. I mean honestly if you are looking for a smooth ride you don't lower a vehicle and therefore don't need camber plates.

FSwerks plate require you cut the strut tower... Our design is bolt in. Im getting the quotes I need next week. Ill keep you guys updated. Im sure we have enough interest I just need to quantify it for Leo to decide how many to manufacture.

[Queen Jade]

Well I'm prepared to sit back and wait because I need plates and I don't want to cut into the strut tops. So long as these aren't as expensive as the KMACS, I'm good. I'm in for a set and if you need someone with an SVT dropped on H&R coilovers who needs them for an auto-x, I'm you're gal.

Thanks guys!

[pkolator]

I would purchase a set.

[focus'N'SHO]

I'm very very interested in a set. Running a 00 ZX3 with H&R race springs, and KYB AGX's for autocross. I've tried the SPC's and found out how much they sucked, and am currently back on stock plates till I can get a set of these. How much they cost and whether I have the money at the time will be the deciding factors. But will have a good chunk of extra cash fairly soon. I'll keep my eye on this.

[frgtflrcn]

i would buy a set as long as they were compatable with my roush stg 2 kit

[SVT3658]

I can't say that I will absolutely buy a set right when they come out, but I definitely need a set. I wanted to buy from you guys but you weren't selling them when I checked. And I refuse to buy SPCs . So when they come out I will buy a set eventually, but maybe not right off the bat.

[djjerme]

I would be interested in set as well..

[rfocus2002]

I will get a set.
