I forgot to mention...

When I first bought my car it had factory spring plates and ran bias ply slicks. The rear tires liked about 0.75 to 1 degree negative.

Again, they were bias plys.

It was really hard to get that level of camber with a low ride height. So based upon advice from the car's builder, I had the factory slot and toe hole on both plates welded up, and cut new slots and made new holes in the plates... ~10 mm offset from the center line.

Presto!

So with these plates I could easily get the modest camber I wanted at low ride height. I could also flip to get a higher amount of negative camber at a higher ride height.

The latter can be helpful in a street/track/AX car-- so many folks want more negative than they can get at street car heights with stock parts. This plate mod is ideal for that.

I have those plates sitting in a box-- I think I put an ad for them in the classifieds.
