Front camber plate problem

[MutinyBiker44T]

ok i bought some of those camber plates off ebay and eveything kinda bolted up good had to make some Sh*t work but nothing big. Anyways in these pictures you can see that the spring is compressed so much that the coils are hitting each other and when i turn the wheel it makes bad popping sounds cause the coils are sitting on each other. They are skunk2 springs and KYB AGX shocksThis is it loaded the cars on the ground (sorry for the crappy pic getting the camera wedged in there was kinda a pain) These are the plates installedThis is it with no weight the tires off the ground

Anyone got any ideas? The ride height is the same

Here is my SR while im in the picture mood Silvia Front too

What came with the camber plates that you got? Did you put the spring perch/upper seat and lock washer back on when you installed the plates, looks like you did?

This is everything that came with them just lke a washer on the bottom and a kinda collar nut on the top that did not fit

Yeah the spring perch is there and the lock washer and eveything i just dont see why the spring is compressed more than before?

maybe the camber plates are too thick. did you have to compress the springs to install them? i know my skunk2 springs fit right on without needing to be compressed.

yeah i dont have to compress them just put a little weight on in so i can get the nut to start on the threads. It was like that before i installed the plates tho.

Alright i found the problem and fixed it. It was the little lock washer on the spring plate the tabs bent up and wouldnt catch the hole and then how the hole on the washer its self is slotted or however you would say it is. It was rounded out so i ran a little weld on the washer to add some metal too it in the one spot and bent the hook part as far as i could and its not getting outta that hole now. That was the problem on both sides but after that everythings good. Overall the upper spring plate was not moving
