I gotta 2 part question about camber plates and springs...

Question 1
I'm trying to decide on which ones to buy, GCs, Hotchkis, Teins or D2 Racing (not sure about these ones at all).

GCs - camber and caster adjustable
Hotchkis - camber only
Teins - ? not sure
D2 - camber only

I have GC/Koni set-up already, so should I just stick to the GCs?

Question 2
my rear passenger side is sagging...was wondering if i would be sagging because the koni is blown? or is my spring just messed (its raised as high as it can go on the GCs and its still has no finger gap) , the konis are not leaking by the way...

Also, what would be the proper spring length to have on a car that rides pretty low (is that even an issue?)...or would I have to get higher spring rates?

thanks in advance

I apologize if this dosent make any sense at all..haha...

Ask boilermaker how he got his tein plates to fit with the gcs and konis. Screw D2, they blow.

OK I'm going to work backwards. The sag. Check to make sure the sleeve didn't fall off the c-ring on the Koni, and check to make sure the block inside the sleeve didn't slip up the sleeve off the bottom. Its always safer to dump a car on stiff springs because it keeps it from bottoming out, but plan on a ROUGH ride. No travel + stiff rates is not fun. I'm running 6" rears.

GC camber plates suck monkeyballs. You need to adjust them from underneath. They're worthless, don't bother.
The Tein plates fit, I made them fit. You need a machine shop to do it, you need to make yourself new spring seats, you also need to make yourself the nut that bolts it all together.
The Hotchkis ones might work. I say might because they're made to work with stock spring seats, but I don't think they require them. I think you just have to replace the top plate of the stock mount with their plate. You lose the ability to use a strut bar because of the over/under orientation of the plates.
Don't bother with D2s.
I don't think I'd change the Koni/GCs just to have camber plates. I'd get camber plates onto the konis by any means necessary.

yo man, thanks alot for your help...i'll check the c-ring on the koni, but i'm pretty sure its still on there. I dont mind a stiff ride at all, its pretty stiff as is but not stiff enuff for me in the front. Do you know what stock GCs spring lengths are? did you get custom springs? rates? lengths?

So I guess i'll get the hotchkis only cause of the modding involved with the Teins..oh, anyone know how much negative camber you can get with the TIENS campared to the HOTCHKIS...
