I just picked up a set of used JIC upper camber plates and am having trouble installing them. I have Eibach Sportline springs and KYB GR2 struts and was told these will work with my setup, even though they are off of JIC coilovers. Anyone with camber plates currently on their car, please help!

First of all, the top strut nut is completely a different size. I have KYB GR2 struts and was told that all 240SX struts use the same size top strut nut EXCEPT KYBs. Is this true? If so, where can i get a strut nut that works with the heim joint?

Second, the camber plate, even with the spacer, does not clear the upper spring pearch. I have 1 spacer per side, but that still doesnt give the room needed for the plate to move.

If anyone has these and send me a pic of them, or help me through the install, i would be very grateful!!

thanks

Come on, somebody has to have installed upper camber plates on a spring/strut setup and might be able to tell me something! What all parts came with yours? Am i missing any? Did the top strut bolt fit your strut and what kind of strut do you have? Please, someone help, i dont want these to go to waste.
