Do I really need camber plates?

Just trying to spec out my upgrades and figure out my costs.

Here's the plan.

NM RSe12's with 40 series tires
BR Racing Coilovers

I plan to lower it to the top of the tires to eliminate all gap so maybe 5mm or so into the height of the tire so it just goes lower than the gap. No lower because I have some speed bumps to worry about.

Those rims are only 7.5" wide with 45et, should work out fine with that setup going just that low without any need for plates and no rubbing right?

Thanks for the info ahead of time. Want to be sure this will work before I drop $3500.

well there are no plates that I'm aware of and almost $200 for .75* of camber is a lil pricey. I think you'll be fine, worst case you'll rub the plastic inside the fender and it will clearance itself.

Hello,

Do you have any feedback for the adj. bushings?

There was concerns about a lack of clamping and the adjusters moving around.

Thanks!
