I got a fixed front camber plate installed two days ago. That evening I went out for a driving, on a local back road, the turn-in is definitely better and the front end bites nicely. I can rotate the car much easier now in mid-corner.

For $180, I think it was worth the upgrade.

 

We did a test run on this offramp. My passenger say I was able to maintain 50mph and 55mph on the exit..the posted sign is 25mph if I am not mistaken.

so far..the best upgrade I have done to the car thus far, beside 225/45-17 Falken Azenis.

 

quite an offramp.... I'll have to get some of these soon, I've been itching for some more front camber!! What other suspension mods do you have?

 

My car, beside camber plate, is riding on stock suspension with 225/45-17 Falken Azenis tire.

I am selling my car this week..might sell camber plate to you at really good price if you are interest..less than <200 miles on the plate.

 

PM me with a price, If you sell i'd scoop them up if they are at the right price

 

I WANT ! ! !

 

I liked these as well. Really helped the car but if I was going to do it again I would get adjustable once. The fixed plates from IE gave me two driffrent camber ratings. Driver side I was at -2.05 and Pass. side I was at -1.75.

To some its not a big deal but I would prefer adjustable once and just set them at even on both side.

 

I wish someone would offer adjustable ones as well.

 

Ireland engineering does offer them as well.

 

180 new???

 

Where can we get this? Any website or email address which you can provide? Thanks...

I'm not too familiar with camber plates but I'm interested in how this product improves handling. One question I do have is how does this affect the tire wear? Will the tires still wear evenly? Thanks!

 

Nope!

I wonder though, how negative camber compares to wheel spacers in regards to handling. Any thoughts?

 

Tires should wear more evenly with more negative camber... Unless you never make any turns.

If you push harder through turns, you'll want more negative camber to keep more tire on the ground, which will improve tire wear.

The more gentle you are with your car, the less negative camber you'll want/need to run. A ton of negative camber on a car that is never pushed hard will cause the tires to wear unevenly.

 

If your tires wear evenly without camber plates, they will not wear evenly with camber plates.

If your tires wear more on the outside shoulder without camber plates, they will wear more evenly with camber plates.

 

I Have IE adjustable camber plates.....the ride is amazing! I run -2,5° front and -1,5 rear (at the rear I have Alta adjastable control arms!)

With this setting you have only to pay attention on wet

Saw the thread so i thought id chime in. i just got these from my fiancee earlier this year and had em installed before xmas. Turn in is nicer, tighter, smoother and the ride is a little firm, but not bad at all. Definately a great relief knowing i wont have to worry about the strut tower mushrooming which is the prmary reason i got these. So far NOOO problems and im enjoying the heck out of em!

 

I've got them on my 2009 JCW and, with a good alignment, they are transformative! Zero the toe and adjust the camber based on driving and sway bars and it's great both on the street and track.
