Do you have a link to the auction? That's a smoking deal on a good looking product!

Default camber plates

Adjustability is why these are good for the road and track...

Camber plates are a total waste of time on a street driven car. They transmit a bunch of noise and please tell me why you would want to adjust camber on the fly on a street car.

On a track car they are very usefull to quickly dial back camber especially if you are like me and drive to the track.

All I can say about those is you get what you pay for. Please tell me how you can adjust castor on those like advertised. Also tell me how much they raise the car, guessing about an inch. Also tell me on which part of that bearing the force is applied, guessing totally in the wrong place for those sphericals.

I agree, even the best brands can produce those annoying ticking noises.
