Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 01:46 PM
OK - It is now official - I am starting a group buy on the updated camber plates for the SPC camber plate kit. These are twice as thick as the SPC plates, and will not bend or deform like the originals tend to do. These are a PRT design (pole120), with an honorable mention going out to Thinkmoto. These are basically the same plates that were offered a while back in this post. I am offering a powdercoating service in this package as well - there should be more than enough colors available to keep everyone happy. The pricing for the bare plates also remains unchanged from the previous run.

Pricing for a set (2 plates) is:

For the US:

Bare Machined: $40
Powdercoated Black: $50
Powdercoated Color of Choice â??? â??Standardâ? or â??Specialtyâ? Colors listed here: $55
Add $3 for Hi-Tech or Iridescent colors (use above link) since they involve multi stage colors and curing process.

For the Canucks:

Bare Machined: $50
Powdercoated Black: $60
Powdercoated Color of Choice â??? â??Standardâ? or â??Specialtyâ? Colors listed here: $65
Add $3 for Hi-Tech or Iridescent colors (use above link) since they involve multi stage colors and curing process.

These prices include shipping. Please note for custom colors - place your orders as soon as possible so I ensure that I have the color in stock before I receive the parts. Otherwise your parts will be delayed the time it takes for my supplier to ship the powder to me.

I will also knock off $5 for orders of 2 sets or more.

Lead time on these will be 3-4 weeks (From the date of this post and not of your order) until I have them all in my hand and ready to ship. I will ship immediately upon receiving. These will arrive with plenty of time to have these on your car for Spring Zing!!

Payments can be sent via Paypal to copocraig@hotmail.com .

Please include your shipping information and your CEG screen name. If you want them powdercoated, clearly state the color you would like based on the color selections here. For additional information please PM or email me. I can also provide sample images of actual powdercoated parts (if I have done the colors) if anyone is curious what the colors look like. I will keep this post updated with a list as purchases are confirmed, and as they are paid for.

What material are the plates made from?
Posted By: MapOfTaziFoSho Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 04:53 PM
interested but prob won't pop for it. I'm 50/50
Posted By: GI8U2racing Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 05:47 PM
I might do it. How bad are the ones that come with the kit exactly?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 05:56 PM
Mild Steel (1020).
Posted By: muntus Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 06:37 PM
Might there be another upgrade to stainless steel?
Posted By: XKontour98 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 07:16 PM
Does it come with the nuts like in the pic?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 07:19 PM
Just the plates - the nuts come with the camber kit so you should already have those.
Posted By: sonza68_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 09:29 PM
Do the prices listed include shipping?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/06/06 11:25 PM
Sure does - Anywhere in North America.
Posted By: GI8U2racing Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/07/06 12:30 AM
Alright I'll do it, when are you gonna start making some?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/07/06 12:42 AM
Order is in (getting them done CNC in bulk).. I will have more than enough to go around in 3 weeks time.

So we would still need to buy a camber kit if we dont have one already?
Posted By: KingpinSVT Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/07/06 02:04 AM
This plate servers 0 (ZERO) purpose without the camber plates!!!!!

And yes, you would have to get them seperately.

Are these thing unnecessary until after you upgrade your suspension?

Good deal thanks man!

They are unnecessary until you have adjustable camber plates which are only used if you have lowered your car beyond about 1.25-1.5".



Sorry for the thread clutter. On topic, I may be in. Ill let you know soon.
Posted By: JEDsContour Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/08/06 12:45 AM
Sent money for two sets (4 plates) powder coated black.

Thanks SVTForme for making this happen!
Posted By: 98SVTC Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 04/08/06 01:00 AM
How long will you be offering these plates? I don't have a camber kit yet as I'm waiting for my D2 coilovers to be built and delivered. I'll then need to find out if the SPC or BAT camber kits will fit the D2 struts. If I go with the SPC kit, I'll order your upgraded plates. But it might be a while.

I'll take payment anytime you want to send it. As it says in the post, parts will not be in until 3 weeks from now, although the parts are being made as we speak.

I already have several orders paid for already. I will post the complete updated list in a day or so.

That's discouraging. I was hoping there would be a quality difference. I guess that means the plate will eventually bend on the BAT kit?

Posted By: GI8U2racing Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/02/06 07:33 PM
Alright, I just got the camber plates. So it says +/- 1 deg, so does that mean u can put the plates so the bolt is toward the outside of the car, get it aligned for 0-.5 deg, then rotate it to the inside of the car and get 2 degrees of camber? Does it make a noticeable difference?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/05/06 09:15 PM
You should not have any problem getting the settings you want. I had no prob at all getting the factory settings, and it was also easy to adjust the camber for the track. One thing to note is that when you change the camber, it also changes the caster. The rate at which it changes the caster depends on where on the rotation you are.
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/05/06 09:19 PM
OK.. finally the day has come.. look at what Mr. UPS brought me today.. lets just say there should be enough to go around, and there are many more to unwrap.



I will be powdercoating them this weekend, and they will be shipped out on Monday. I will be powdercoating many sets, so they will be ready to ship out immediately upon payment.

Thanks Craig got mine today!
Posted By: R_G Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/17/06 02:09 AM
I got the reinforced plates from the previous GB but would like to get a pair of powdercoated ones. Ready to pay on Thursday. Please PM me for the PayPal details and else...
Posted By: SkyRyder Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/17/06 03:56 AM
Damn such a simple swap and I had to run into problems.
I went to unbolt the passenger side and the bolt kept rotating without coming loose. The bolt was rotating the entire Koni strut.

How in the hell can I get this loose? any ideas?

(The driver side unbolted with no problems.)
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/17/06 05:11 AM
Sounds like the nut below the plate is loose. You can try using an impact gun to remove it (I wouldn't suggest using it to reinstall though). Otherwise I used one of these ratchets:


Once you get the plate off, make sure and tighten the nut below it to ensure that you don't run into this same problem again .
Posted By: 98SVTC Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 05/18/06 01:44 AM
Got mine yesterday! Camber plate kit on the way too! Now all I have to wait for are the D2 coilover kits.

Sure thing - drop me a PM and we can set something up.
Posted By: Kremithefrog Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/01/06 03:57 AM
Any more left? and where do I go for the rest of the kit, BAT still carry em?
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/01/06 04:09 PM
I still have quite a few left.

I had to make a bunch of them to make it worthwhile and bring the piece cost down to a reasonable price.

The kits are still up on ebay - thats where I bought mine. That was the cheapest price I could find: Ebay item # 8033553383
Posted By: SVT SNOB Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/01/06 04:28 PM
Craig, I will be getting 2 sets, but can't for another 2-3 weeks will that be ok? Just to make sure these are adjustable right?

Aaron
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/01/06 04:53 PM
Sure thing. This group buy is for the upgraded plates for the camber kit in the link above (Just to be clear).

These are adjustable by rotating the upper mount relative to the body of the vehicle. They are adjustable, but the camber and caster will both change when the mount is rotated (not as precise as the typical mustang camber kits).

I had no issues in aligning my car after installing a Koni kit.
Posted By: SVT SNOB Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/01/06 04:58 PM
Perfect, I shall be picking up 2 sets within 2-3 weeks . Hope that is ok.

Aaron
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/03/06 04:26 PM
Not a problem.
Posted By: starjammir Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/03/06 04:30 PM
Can these be used with a front strut brace? Just curious
Posted By: SVTforme_dup1 Re: GB - Updated Camber Kit Plates - 08/04/06 06:21 PM
I am not 100% sure on this, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. They occupy roughly the same amount of space radially as the base plates with rubber isolators.

This is what they look like installed with the OEM rubber isolator.
