Hi all,

I just installed Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C coilovers on my car. These coilovers do not come with camber plates. I immediately took it to Firestone to get my alignment done to see if I can get by without having the front plates (lifetime alignment ). It turns out that my front camber is at -2.28/-2.09. The factory spec range is at -1.5 to 0.

To the best of my knowledge, Tanabe does not sell camber plates. I will need camber plates from a different manufacturer. I don't have much knowledge on camber plates.

MAIN QUESTION1.) Do camber plates from all manufacturer work with coilovers of all manufacturers? (i.e. Tein plates with Tanabe coilovers)2.) Can you guys give me a list of camber plates that will work with different coilover manufacturers?

I know Cusco is a good one...but it's way of out my budget.

Thanks.

NOTE: As for the rear, I ordered Peak Performance RUCAs from Enjuku Racing. When I was trying to install these yesterday, I couldn't get the endlinks to screw onto the actual arm. I don't think the threads fit with each other.... I'll be calling them to find out how to get an exchange on Monday.

camber plates from SPL parts should work on your coilovers, theyre supposed to be able to work with most brands

Are you talking about the KTS one from SPL? I looked into that too. Fair price. The only thing is...I'm not a big fan of too much adjustables. I see that these camber plates are also height adjustables. Do you know how that works? It took me a while to set the perfect height on my coilovers. I don't want to deal with more adjustability. It'll be great if you can give me an idea of how they work though.

Ideal front camber is negative 0.7 degrees [for most tires] [the wide oem spec is just to limit warranty costs].
