I got my Dinan camber plates in the mail today. I was just courious if anyone has tackled this insall yet they say I have to pound out some studs not looking forward to that... I know people are going to say why did I get these plates... Thats becuse Im Dinan Loyal...

 

judging from the picture of the plates on the Dinan website, it looks like you have drop the front struts and place the plate on top of the OEM strut mount. then bolt it back up. I guess there were no instructions? Get the Bentley service manual for all of the proper torque specs when putting the struts back in.

Getting the rest of the suspension anytime soon? If you're going to drop the struts, you might as well do everything else.

 

I installed the Dinan camber plates on my car as part of the Dinan suspension package. You will need to pound out the bolts on the top of the OEM strut mounts. Following that, you'll use the supplied bolts to attach the Dinan plates to the top of the OEM strut mounts. IIRC, there should be written instructions supplied w/ the Dinan parts. Note, the front of your car will be raised very slightly with these plates in case you weren't already aware.

 

Are they all the same to install? Meaning the IE and Dinan and other brands about the same to put in? I got my IE's in the mail and no instructions at all.

 

I don't believe so...the IEs include the top strut bearing as part of the assembly if I'm not mistaken. Imagine others can better comment, but think you'll need to remove the strut retaining nut (requires special tool) and compress the springs to do the IE plate installation.

 

You are correct the IE plates do replace the stock top strut mounts.

Bang, once you put them in get to an alignment shop. Adding the camber plates screws up the front toe setting. You end up with a lot of toe in. Once it's done & aligned you'll ask yourself why you waited so long to install them.
