    suspension/brace question

    so i ordered this strut brace, it didnt fit so i finnaly shipped it back today...and was looking at getting a new one.

    i looked at the bmp design one and figured id get it...the only thing is if i get new suspension (which i am in a month or so) and it has those camber adjustments on the struts, that bmp strut brace isnt going to fit on top of it..am i right? how does this work...or will i even need those camber adjustment things or what?

    Camber adjustments are no on the sruts, you would need to get camber plates.

    Save your money, strut bars are for looks. X-Brace much more beneficial.

    bump


    so if i get camber plates


    like that, can i still put that bmp strut brace on? and take it off to adjust it? or will the brace not fit with camber plates...if not, is there an alternative?

    get the open design strut bars if you're going to buy camber plates. racing dynamics has open ended strut bars.
