camber plates

Anyone have a good suggestions for the best front camber plates? Also, the best shock tower brace?

Camber plates - not a lot of choices but an excellent product....



...and while you're ordering from there you should get their TC Rods and bump steer spacers....





Cusco makes a good set of shock tower braces. Top End Performance also carries a three point brace. There isn't anything super techical about a strut tower brace - just physically tying the braces together so as long as it doesn't fold in half most people are looking for something that looks good. A three point is going to give you more bracing though so I'd tend more along those lines...

Don't forget that those camber plates require coilover suspension up front. Get their $199 weld-together kit.

i have the camber plates. good stuff, you have to cut the top of the strut tower to clearance the adjusters, but its real easy. i made mine work fine with no coilovers. i think there is a different part needed with coilovers tho. there is info on his site if i remember

Did you slot your rear a-arm mounts for camber adjust on the rear?

I'd like to move the whole mount back a bit as well so the tire is more centered in the wheel well. The tire will rub towards the front of the wheel well before it rubs anywhere else (like the top, etc)
