So I'm considering getting some adjustable camber plates for my '03 MCS daily driver. Both of my upper strut mounts are cracked (probably from severe potholes in DC) and I thought I'd upgrade rather than replace them.

After doing a fair bit of research, I'm looking closely at the the Eibach/SPC plates and the H-Sport plates. I've heard a lot of good things about both, but I've also heard a few negatives (mostly about the Eibach's). It looks like the fit and adjustability of the H-Sports is superior, but I don't know if it's worth the extra $200.

Also I wanted to confirm my thinking that if you have camber plates, then you have no need for strut tower reinforcement against mushrooming.

Any input is appreciated.

Cheers!

 

Hi ColonelAngus,
I have H-Sport Adjustable Camber Plates and a Dinan Strut Tower Brace. I do like the combo due to the roads in this area really give a new meaning to suck during the springtime. I have had no problems with the combo. The camber plates are set to run -1.8 so the summer and fall time driving is a little more fun! Way Motor Works did the install on the plates and I would highly recommend his service. Good luck on your decision.

 

The Hsport Camber plates are great, but also check out the Vorshlag camber plates. We've used both without failure. I recommend them both.

 

I picked up the H-Sport from Way, I think you will find them to be worth the extra $200 over the SPC/Eibach.

 

I like the H-Sport myself. Both the Vorshlags and H-Sports are very well made. The H-Sports are easier to adjust and look much better in the engine compartment. I at first tried to use the Vorshlags but my coilovers would not work with them. Think of what you may do in the future, shock/coilover wise and plan accordingly.
