Can someone post a picture of how stock front springs (not adjustable) are installed to Ground Control/Lindsey/Paragon camber plates ? This would be for an '87 with the later style stock strut mounts/spring hats.

Thanks !

Would you like a set of adjustable springs ?

Well, I installed the GC camber plates and figured it out. GC has a two-bearing system. The spherical bearing in the plate is used to locate the strut, and a neat roller bearing is in the supplied spring hat. The roller bearing carries the weight of the car to keep the weight off the spherical bearing. BUT...
The GC spring hat is only used when converting to a 2.5" coil-over kit. As per the tech-notes on the Paragon site, they are not used if you are staying with the stock size springs (I have Weltmeister 220lb springs on mine) as you use the stock spring hats.

So my concern now is that the weight of the car is on the spherical bearing. I'm not sure how durable this is. Anybody have experience with this ? The Paragon tech-notes suggest that this is the way they are supposed to be installed with stock size springs...
