Remember the 1/4" inch camber plates Thinkmoto use to make? Is there any way to still get those? Anyone besides me still want a set?
Hey Thinkmoto, what would it take to convince you to go through all that again?
I have the camber plate kit, but 3/16" just looks too flimsy to me.
If anyone has an unused set of Thinkmoto�s upgraded plates they don�t need...

If I were to do it again, I'd only do it in stainless. Mine have some surface rust, and I only drove it probably 5000 miles with them on, and it's in the garage all winter.

I have contacted ThinkMoto recently about the upgraded plates and he said he is willing to make some. I would just have to let him know, and he still charges $40.

I'm in for two sets! How much shipping and where should I send my money?
Is this a potential group-buy? (NOT looking for a price reduction)
IMHO, the peace of mind afforded by these robust plates is well worth the price.

When I said I contacted Thinkmoto recently I mean a a few days ago (before you started this thread) I sent him a PM asking him if he would still be willing to make me some of the upgraded plates. He said that he could but I would have to let him know (aka-PM him again).
It sounds like you want some of the upgraded plates, and I told Thinkmoto that I was just going to wait and see how my current plates hold up. I will PM Thinkmoto and bring this thread to his attention, and maybe he will be interested in starting another GB of his plates.

For $40, I'll definitely jump in.

Thank you for that. I think thinkmoto's solution to the plate movement/flexing problem is the best (and only) available now.
Although like you, if I had already installed the unreinforced camber kits, I would wait to see if I had a problem. Many people have reported no problems whatsoever.

Me too, especially since we aren't getting camber kits with that D2 group buy suspension (if it ever shows up). I only hope that SPC or whatever kit will work with the D2 stuff. Either that or the BAT camber kit. Decisions decisions....
