Lots on the topic, but does the “plate” system really work? Are race cars welding gussets to them or welded in camber plates?

Is it truly sufficient (safe) to use the plates for a track/race car?

cheers

 

You should be fine without welding anything, it’s much better to keep it changeable IMO. The thick camber plates on my BC coilovers protect the strut towers just fine on both of my R53s. One is a dedicated track car with decently stiff springs, much harder than you would have on a street car.

No mushrooming in 3 years running it.

I had craven under tower indurators before the BCs which also worked fine.

 

Cheers, thanks for the reply.

 

Agreed.

While you...can, take the car apart, build proper plates, and "TIG" weld them in place, a set of camber plates will help in two ways.
1 - Provide strength to the towers.
2 - Provide a method of correcting / adjusting the wheel camber.

It sounds like people are not having issues after the plates are bolted in.
