Camber Plae Options? - The Ford Focus Forum

**SuperFlea** · 11-05-2009, 01:19 PM

I really want to get some plates for my new set up, but what other options are there...

LCR - Not easy to come by, not for sale online either. But would love these.
SPC - Not really adjustable, but maybe worth getting?

Edit: Camber Plates... splel chkce pnws em

K-Mac. Nice quality, a bit pricy. Can adjust camber and caster. $300

FocusSport. Nice quality. Only work with coilovers. Can adjust camber only. $200

Don't you have to cut the strut mount on the car to fit the FS plates?

**SVTADAM** · 11-05-2009, 03:12 PM

Yeah you need to cut the strut tower for the FS ones. They are a nice option. I thought you could run anything on the FS plates not just coilovers.

Steer clear of the SPC/Steeda units. They work but contort the strut shaft to an awkward angle that has caused some strut failures. Ive had them, and I didnt like them.

Great, thanks for the info! Now, to find where to buy a set of KMacs or LCR's

**lapp4sm** · 11-05-2009, 05:48 PM

K-mac's are available from: http://www.wildponymotorsports.com/p...3&idcategory=0

I have a set of LCR and K-Mac. Both are nice quality. I would buy LCR first, K-Mac 2nd.
Last I heard is that LCR's are on back-order. Maybe they are back in stock.

i love my LCR's.
Also, if you swap the LCRs to the opposite strut and rotate 270º you can gain extra caster as you gain -ve camber. this is how I run.
