Best Caster Camber Plates which one?

I would like to install camber caster plates. I know there are a number out there to choose from. Which ones are the best, and what are the pro and cons?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi,

If you want to use it on the road, then a very good set of camber/castor plates is made by Eibach. They are designed to work with your standard suspension or with coilovers that accept the standard top mount.

The benefit of having the camber plates is that they eliminate understeer, the downside is that they are thicker than a standard and so they raise the car slightly when they are fitted. Which would call for use of good coiovers to bring the height down.

Should they be the first suspension component that you change on your car? No!
Why? Because the dtandard suspension is too soft really anyway to deal with the demands of performance driving, and the car sits too high.... so get something stiffer like a set of coilovers.

hi there, this is my first post here so hi all dudes


I'm here to ask, like Porsche1VW, what do you guys think I should install about camber plates

well, looking around the web I've seen these brands...


Hotchkis
most diffused, priced from 400 to 500$


K-MAC
most diffused after the Hotchkis, priced around 300-330$


SPC
300$


Helix13
so expensive, 500$! I think they're those developed by user "jlm" but I'm not sure
they're also in Mini-Madness for 550$...


Webb Motorsports
very nice but more expensive, maybe too much...559$!




well, as I think that Webb Motorsports and Helix13 ones are too much expensive, the choise will be around Hotchkis and K-MAC but I'd like to know your thoughts before!

PLEASE HELP ME IN CHOOSING...


thanks and goodbye

Albert
