The Oem's are expensive! Has anyone had success with any of the aftermarket ones? Do any of them give a performance enhancement ala reducing cornering setup, mid corner correction stability, or improving directional (other than the camber plates, dont want to do that).

I suggest you look into Ireland Engineering fixed camber plate. Like OEM, but with ~1.5 degree more negative camber. Built in tower protection.

 

Lemforder.

 

go with ireland engineering if you want more performance, or lemforder imo

 

Thanks for suggestions. What are you guys seeing for inside tire wear with the -1.5deg plates? Big difference or minor? Im planning on doing the 22mm wmw rear sway. Will -1.5 plates complement the alta or will it want to oversteer too much? Anyone have this setup?

 

 

I don't daily my car much, and have -3.5 and I don't notice inside wear because track & autocross use ruins the outside edge faster

 

Yah, this is a daily driver for me.

 

I think I'll go with the ireland fixed plates and also planing on the alta 22mm rear sway. Does anyone have this setup? Whats it like?

 

I'm in the same boat as you, need new strut mounts, like yesterday.

I'm having a hard time deciding what makes the IE the "GO-TO" for everyone. I was thinking Lemforder, then using the saving for a nice strut brace?

Hell, I can even make my own 1/2" thick steel STD's. So not worried about the mushrooming in the future. Anyway, OP, what route did you go and how's it been for you?

 

Anyone want to chime in. I plan on placing the order tomorrow and unless someone can really inform me as to why the IE Mounts are the absolute best, go-to everytime...

I'll probably order Lemforder brand mounts, make my own STDs, and use the saved money for a strut brace.

Thoughts please?
Happy New Year MINIACS!
