Best Camber plates?

[MoeMuny]

I did some searching and couldnt really find what I was looking for so......

I am in the market for adjustible camber plates and was wondering which ones you guys are running, or would recomend...

Thanks

check out the track forum.. great help over there, and this has been beat to death.. i see you searched already, so I wont get on you for it.. LOL

i do not own any yet, but from what i've read, as I'm also in the market... The GC, TCK, and Motor Force Camber plates seem to have the best reviews from everyone on the board, and the most adjustability. The GC do start to make noise, and the TCK ones also start to make noise, from what I've read.

I have yet to see ANY complaints on the Motor Force plates. No sounds, squeaks, problems installing, nothing... and they are a little cheaper...

I'm going Motor Force

+1 for MotorForce camberplates. I just installed them last week in time for the Pro Solo. The bite from the front tires was amazing compared to the swapped strut hats I had on before.

They are easy to install, and easy to adjust. Just loosen the 3 13mm nuts on top of the plates, move the plates, and tighten back down.

Also, the stack height is lower than stock and other camber plates, so you have more suspension travel. And the quality is as good or better than the competitors.

Really? Did you notice that much of a difference of the struthat swap? Did you get much more camber up front?

And nice job at the Pro... :D

Sounds like MotorForce camber plates are the way to go then. :) Just make sure you install them correctly. I've seen at least two threads lately in which the camber plates were installed incorrectly. Mine are working so far without any problems.

from what I hear, GC plates can get more camber then the others

+1 for MotorForce camber Plate!!

TC Kline hands down. Been using for over a year and no noise. I have heard of no instances of such things.

[CABimmer]

The TC, GC and MF plates will all give you about the same camber adjustment. If you grease the TCs and GC you won’t have noise. I have had my GC for 2+ years with no issue. The MF plates use a larger bearing which might last longer than the others in the long run. The MF plates also cost less. I know the guys from MF and they make great products at very competitive prices. I’m also running some prototype MF parts that you are going to want to get your hands on when they come out.:devillook

MF plates are great. Mine have remained silent and given me zero issues.

[MoeMuny]

Great
And thanks for everyones info....

Looks like I will go with the MF'ers

This new offering from UUC has been very popular:

* Does not change front ride height.
* Crafted from aircraft quality aluminum, these precision machined adjusters feature OE style bearings and a bonded urethane insulator.
* The OE style bearing provides proper rotational compliance for the strut shaft, will not loosen or rattle.
* 100% urethane isolation prevents noise or vibration transmitted to car's interior.
* Designed for both performance and racing applications.

Do these fit stock-type springs/shocks, coilovers, or both?

Also, looking at the top plate, is there enough room to adjust Koni's without removing any parts?

[BoBoUDM//34]

+1 for the MF plates. Just installed them last week. I am very impressed. They also allow for alot easier adjustment for the Koni's, and the customer service is outstanding.

+1 for the MF plates. I've had mine for over 2 yrs and alot of auto-xes. They are made well and work great.

Fits both - any setup that would use the OE strut bearing can use these plates.

Definitely. One of our cars here has the TCK Koni S/As and adjustment is no problem.

I have been running the Ground-Control "hybrid" camber plates since 2003 and have been VERY pleased with them! I can't compare to the others as GC plates are the only ones I have experience with, but the product has been great and the service is top notch.

They are "hybrid" because of some rubber components that make the suspension a lot quieter. I do not have any clanging, clunking, or chattering. How quiet are the other brand parts?

My MF's have remained totally silent after a bunch of street, track and wet weather use and abuse. No noise whatsoever. With a lower quality spherical bearing, noises develop in short order. The larger and higher-quality MF bearing apparently does not fall prey to this.

For track use, I think you want a spherical bearing for max precision and zero play.

Poly-u, rubber, pliable stuff = more compliance = more flex and less precision.

+1 for MF with the same reasons.

I thought I should chime in for the ones to NOT get. I mistakenly bought the K-MAC brand. They are quite possibly the most worthless 'adjustable' camber plates around. If you plan on never changing the camber/castor then these are OK, but don't think you can ever move it after you get them set. At least not without some work. I wish I would have gone with one of the above mentioned.

I would also like to add that the Motor-Force brand I have seen in action and they are amazing. Takes no effort to move them. Of course the castor is a set it and forget it...but camber takes literally just a few min to adjust.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the votes of confidence. Those are all the reasons we purchased Motor Force. We're not supporting vendors (yet) so I will respect the unwritten rules and say if you have any questions PM or email me off line. CABimmer is right, we've got some great stuff coming out shortly. :buttrock

BTW, Brian Matteucci (MFE owner) is still designing our parts and pumping them out faster than we can prototype and make them. :)
