if thats the case, you could have just slotted the front lower strut mount and then adjusted it from the 21mm bolt, fantastic work but i dont get the point of it.

to do what you are suggesting i would have to pull the tires off to adjust, with these i just jack it up slide them to where i want them for the camber i need and drop the car back on the ground will take 5 mins to accomplish. i have camber bolts on both front and rear and it takes up to an hour to get proper adjustment and then i have to go in for an alignment to get everything back streetable. with these plates i will get an initial alignment and then be able to adjust camber as needed no alignment required. quick and easy. |

The only bad thing about making these adjustments on the fly is that now you're going to have more toe in when you adjust your camber more negative.

Finally got to full assembly. ordered new agx, and realized i didnt need to the ones ive had on my car for 3 yrs are still good. i had to do some modifications to the struttower i had to cut it open which i used a jigsaw for. after assembly it looks like ill have up to -2* adjustment. when i get it aligned ill have it set at 1/2 degree negative for daily driving and check what i can get maximum at that time. there is no play in the front end anymore, its much more precise, road noise is not as bad as i thought, but i have only driven 10 miles on them so far.

It's for adjusting camber. Ideal camber on the street and Ideal camber on a Road-x course are not the same.

no, because then you have to wait for them to respond, and then read that. its the same amount of reading, and much more waiting, plus you get people pointing out that you dont know how to read.
