I purchased used Helix camber plates & H&R RSS coilovers on NAM marketplace. They came in yesterday and I noticed the Left camber plate was very bent / mushroomed I thought this would be very hard to do as people use them to stop this problem. I then took a much closer look at the left front coilover and it was super hard to compress then the rebound was very very slow 2x the time for right side. It was then clear how the Left camber plate got so damaged. The other three struts respond fine & I would say normal.

I think I can put the camber plate in a press and make it true again. However I will need to find someone to fix the coilover. I think its best to get both fronts rebuilt correct? This is very sad to me as I really did not have the money to get these in the first place & now as they are not useable with out repair. Where is the best cheapest place to send them or are any NAM members able to do this job? Any rebuild kits you can buy? I'm not finding much info. I see Blstein can rebuild but at over $100 each and will cost me more in the end then I paid for the coilovers to start with

Here is a picture of the bent camber plate

 

So the person you bought these from did not disclose the damage? If so, that is not cool.

 

I knew some damage one strut had a stripped thread and a bolt broke off in one of the camber plates not a problem for me for the price savings on parts I could never buy new.

Contact H&R directly - they will rebuild the coilover for you.
