Race camber plates - Focaljet

**jimy_f_84** · 07-17-2007, 12:16 AM

I know it says up to -2.5 degrees of neg camber, but does it mean that it will add -2.5 or over all the max neg camber you can get is -2.5 degress?

So if the stock is -1 degree it will be -2.5 or it will be -3.5?

Plus do you need the small springs with it (coil-over) or the big ones work?

inputs please!!!

The limitations are the OD of the production spring and how much the cars static ride height it changed. What springs are on the car?

Vogtland, 1.6" drop, they arent the coil overs but they are a little smaller in diameter than the stock ones, what confuses me is, that i have the SPC camber plates, and they said that they are only up to -1 degree but for some reason i have -2.5 degrees total right now??? i need some more for the track use.

It is hard for me to say I have never had them on Vogtland's. All the coustomers that have switched from the SPC plates have got more Neg Camber.

With these plates, does it require you to cut the tops of the coilovers?

No. They basically replace the oem strut bearing and top plate.

I got up to -3.2 camber with these with maybe a 2" drop and small diameter springs. The limitation is the spring hitting the strut tower.

I dont mean to sound like a goof, but is the strut bearing replaced? If yes, I won't need to buy a new set of strut bearings?
