super silly question: those camber plates only work on coilover conversions? Cause I'm doing the spring/ strut combo and was wondering if these will work... probably not huh

rifelman1993Apr 18, 2013, 4:53 pm · #10

No this is for stock if you buy coilover 90% of them time they will have them already

turbo-s12Apr 18, 2013, 8:30 pm · #11

no im pretty sure you can use them on stock im goin to get them but have the center fit the sw20s and they said they can do that...

There isn't room in the strut tower for camber plates to work with the stock strut/spring assemblies.  You guys are smoking crack.

rifelman1993Apr 19, 2013, 5:04 am · #19

Yes there is I have seen them.....

night_s12Apr 19, 2013, 2:13 pm · #20

As have I ^^

silvertonApr 19, 2013, 2:22 pm · #21

Links with information/pictures and how much adjustment they got??  I looked at the front twice, once when I replaced the springs, and then again when I replaced the struts.  I saw no benefit to camber plates due to lack of room.

turbo-s12Apr 19, 2013, 6:55 pm · #22

Silverton how so?

silvertonApr 19, 2013, 9:29 pm · #23

No room for the assemblies to move. Camber plates makes them move side to side from the top. You might get a quarter of a degree adjustment. The factory springs are just too wide to function like they do with the narrow diameter coil over springs.  This is speculation of course from me eye balling it.  If you show me, I'll be a believer.

Im going to take some measurements to see whats going on...now i know what you mean i didnt see your second post

night_s12Apr 19, 2013, 9:51 pm · #25

I'm sure there's more in there too. Plus wen people go to coil overs they have plates so I know they fit.
silvertonApr 20, 2013, 1:09 pm · #26

Post #63 is running coil overs.  Running coil overs it's almost required to run camber plates.  That's why you always see them.

Show me a picture of someone with stock strut assemblies that's also running camber plates.

I was under the impression that the SW20 strut was used in the weld on coil over set up.  So yes, camber plates could be used.
spiderwebfxApr 20, 2013, 2:49 pm · #27

Aftermarket coilovers have smaller springs, seats and top hats allowing for massive camber adjustment with camber plates.  The factory springs are too big to be able to give a worthwhile amount of adjustment without it fowling on the sides of the strut tower.  I remember from before I put S14 Cusco's in the front of mine, I would've been able to move it less than 3mm before it starting hitting the sides when turning.

This^

Having run both setups on an S12, I can attest to that. It's the same reason why S13 OEM suspension doesn't work, but S13 *coilovers* do.

turbo-s12Apr 23, 2013, 10:36 pm · #29

Ive heard that people HAVE used stock s13 suspension^^^ and it worked
