Default Camber plates for 951 with M030 ?

I search the archives but didn't find what i need
I sent a mail to Paragon and Lindsey but didn't get any news...

I need to replace my stock strut mounts on my 1991 951. The car is equipped with the M030 suspension.

Do you think i can go with the Paragon Products camber plates to replace the stock mounts ? Or with the Lindsey camber plates ?

http://www.lindseyracing.com/Merchan...944CAMBERPLATE (What is the size of the stock M030 springs ?)

Will that change the ride height ? If so, i can adjust with the M030 struts ?

Thanks

Those guys sell the ground control units. You can use them with factory springs and spring hats. They will give you 2 brass bushings of differing heights to sleeve the inside of the bearing. Use the taller sleeve on the bottom, and you will have enough clearance for the large cone of the factory hat.

These plates will raise your car, so you will need ant adjustable perch to lower it again - but then you have the downside of losing shock travel.

Racer's edge and Kokeln make units that cost more but dont have this problem.

Actually Lindsey and Paragon sell non-GC plates too. Both the Racers Edge and the Weltmeister plates retain the stock top mounting position, and can be used with stock springs without ride height adjustment. The Kokeln's actually raise the top mounting height to allow for considerable lowering (w/o sacraficing shock travel) and like the GC's require/benefit-from an adjustable spring perch.
