Is it true that Cusco camber plates will not work with a spring/shock combo...only coil-overs?

the camber plates from any manufacturer are not gonna work unless you have pillow ball upper mounts. just hold out till you get coilovers, that way you won't pay twice for the same thing

My bad..I've been throwing around camber plate/pillowball mounts as a description for the same thing. Whoops!

We need to clarify here. First off, not all coilover kits come with camber plates/pillowball mounts. Some use the OE upper bearing mount.

Secondly, camber plates typically integrate the pillowball bearing into it. It's unlikely to find a camber plate for the S-chassis without a pillowball. However, there are pillowball mounts without camber adjustment capabilities.

Lastly, whether or not a specific camber plate is compatible with a specific coilover kit is dependent on the 2 components. It would be fairly safe to assume a camber plate made to work with the factory shocks will likely fit a shock/coilover designed to work with a factory upper bearing mount. Though there could be exceptions. If a coilover is in the plans already, perhaps find a kit that comes with the camber plates.
