Default Camber plate question...

Hello.
While the car is up on the lift, thought it is a good time to upgrade to camber plates.
Does anyone have a favorite?
I like the Kokeln ones, but will they work with a 2 1/2" spring?
Thanks.

I've got the Racers Edge ones fitted which don't alter ride height. I've heard about people struggling to lower the car enough with the Lindsey Racing and Paragon plates espectially with M030 struts. Can't fault them, the ride quality hasn't been deminished as some people told me it would and the turn in is razor sharp and i'm still running on stock bushes with 968 castor bushes.

Any ideas I had of adjusting camber for track went out of the window when I saw how much toe out was effected by a relatively small amount of increase in camber. They are really not adjustable unless you can adjust toe out to compensate. Can't think of the numbers but when the car was aligned they measured the change to toe out as the camber was increased over the full range of movement of the plate.

Go with Racer Edge plates and stay away from the Lindsey Racing plates. The LR plates have tolerance issues with their bearings and have too much movement.

I'm satisfied with the Weltmeister's. Haven't tried any other, though.

I agree about the LR plates ..

I have Ground control plates on both my bmw`s and they are very good aswell, good design and quality.
Dynatech on my 951 and they are also great.
