Camber Plate Time - The Ford Focus Forum

**98LowRanger** · 03-14-2009, 05:40 PM

So after doing my research I have heard that you guys have the best camber plates. I am going to install my Vogtland coilovers soon so I need to purchase the camber plates, but I have a few questions.

First off will the LCR camber plates work on my Vogtland Coilovers?? I hear that they are pretty similar to the KW Variant 1 coilovers. Here is a pic for referance:

My other question is what is the difference between your "Race" camber plates and your "Street" plates? I don't plan on using my car at the track, but if the race plates have more adjustment then that might be nice to have.

Thanks and I look forward to ordering from you soon!

Sorry just got back , The plates will not fit them.

Any idea why they won't work??? I've heard that they are VERY similar to the KW Variant 1s and I know they work.

Anyone??? Would like to get this figured out so I can get my suspension figured out soon to install.

I think the kw's have a different thread pitch for the top nut.

Ugh still can't get any reply from the people at LCR....Anyone know for sure if KW Variant 1s or H&R coilovers will work with the LCR plates? Would have been helpful if LCR could make a sticky listing what coilovers their camber plates will work with.

**BadIdea** · 03-21-2009, 08:09 PM

They should work well with the h&r big diameter spring that uses the oem spring plate.

**ehancock** · 03-21-2009, 08:55 PM

h&r's DO work

I'm almost positive the eibach pro street coilovers do NOT work. The eibach pro street coilovers are made by KW, they're identical to KW v1's so if eibach's don't work then the KW's probably wont.

Sorry guys been out of town and Craig has been sick not in the office trying to catch up. They would work if you had production upper spring pearch. We have different threads though.

**Croc_Tease!** · 03-22-2009, 02:13 PM

I have KW V1 and they work fine. I have them on the car right now. those Vogtlands look nothing like my KW V1.

H&R also work just fine, but the spring is very wide and may rub the strut tower if the camber is adjusted too far.

**joylee** · 08-29-2009, 05:23 AM

I also have the KW V1 and they really worked fine. H&R are also k but the springs are wide enough to fit in so they are in need to be adjusted...
