Camber and Caster strut tower plates

Anyone using these Camber and Caster strut tower plates? Usually I skim over non-name brand (or am I just living under a rock ) stuff on eBay but these look like a neat product.

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

i dunno , they look pretty good to me . my upper bearings are not in the best of shape . if you get them let us know . would be good before my new rims & tires . i would need to find a GOOD alignment shop in my area . i may give them a try , after new rims & tires .

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

I have the Sphon spherical upper s/m's on my IROC and like them well enough but I was intrigued enough to ask about these to ask.. Guess I just hadnt run across them before.

Thanks for the feedback

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

PA racing offers some gorgeous strut mounts with heims joints, I would look into those before buying the ones here for 20 dollars more.

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

I've got those.
I like them alot. They adjust really easily and they are at least strong enough for everyday and drifting events. Haven't had any trouble with them.

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

I was looking at spohns but then saw these. Hotparts has posted in another thread, it might have been mine actually, i was asking about them. They say the hotparts use better bearings than spohns. I know these off more adjustabilty.

With the spohns or these, is there any interference with the master cylinder?

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

i have two sets. bought them within the last year so they are the revised model to work with even the wider diameter bilstein struts... important to know this if you run bilsteins like i do on my cars.

great piece, good clean welds.. so far i'm very happy with them. i had the more expensive polished billet units before, it was just looks. these work great and for the price very nice.

my only complaint is the special 12 point style bolts the include, i went out and bought standard high grade bolts to put it together.

Re: Camber and Caster strut tower plates

Which ones have the lighter weight? Does anyone make one out of billet aluminum?
