camber plate vs camber bolts
ok...i;ve been searchin and i cant find any information on the camber plates. i know what i camber kit is, and what the front camber bolt look like..does anyone have a pic of the camber plate, or why is it better then the camber bolt. thnx in advance.
Camber Plates mount on top of the strut itself....this is the area under the hood that you mount strut bars too. Camber bolts insert where the knuckle attaches to the strut. You will see two bolts whenever you remove your tire. It is generally the top bolt that is exchanged for the camber bolt. Plates are much better in my opinion and have less chance of slipping over time.

ground control Cheaper than the rest, but camber is adjusted from the bottom of the plate, K-mac expencive, but camber and CASTER adjustable, Hotchkis expencive but..... it's HOTCHKIS! as for Tein, they don fit on oem sized shocks unless modified as boiler has done

The GC plates require use of GC hats (and the rest of the GC coil set) and I've never met anyone who found those to be easy to deal with.
Hotchkis is the only one I'm aware of that makes ones that work with stock springs, but I think they're discontinued.
You need to be doing some searching.... this has been gone through a couple times.... the consensus usually seems to be '**** it' unless you're hell bent on getting it to work.
