Same thing there home skillet. A camber plate is simply a pillow ball mount that offers camber adjustability. As you can see in the tein one, the one on the left is the PBM and the one on the right is the PBM with camber adjustability.

So the pillow ball top mounts that come with the Tein HE... are those same as camber plates?Are they camber adjustable?:confused:

I should have been a bit more clear in what I was saying...

The one on the left in the tein picture is the rear pillow ball mount. It does not have camber adjustability because the camber in the rear is controlled by the upper link and not the strut mount. So the rear link does not offer camber adjustability (nor can it)

the one on the right in the tein picture is the front pillow ball mount, which does have camber adjustability, therefore making it a pillow ball mount/camber plate. As I said before, they are one in the same if you have a PBM with camber adjustability then you can switch the words PBM and Camber plate.

But yes, the front PBM's that come with the HE kit are in fact camber plates, but the rears are only regular PBM's

Where can I find a good price for PBM's for a 95 240?
