NEW Adjustable FRONT Strut tops (Camber Plates)

Post by Oscar-the-Grouch »

G'day ALL

Well finally I have developed in conjunction with a race shop a set of Starion Front Camber Adjusters or Adjustable Strut Tops as you may know it better.

These are the best ones out there for the best price. The Offer more adjustability that the Australian Noltec's and the Jap's Cusco's for less money. They are also made from Stainless Steel slider plate vs Aluminum like the competition. And best of all you can use these WITH your original springs OR with Coil Overs.

Bellow are some pics and descriptions.
REMEMBER I also offer the REAR adjustable strut tops as well, e-mail me for details or see the post at the link bellow:

I wanted to mention and make all of you aware that:

YES, you can use these with OEM style springs either OEM or Lowering OEM style AND with ANY Coil Over system you may have.

YES, you will be able to use these with either the OEM shocks or with the upgraded and Adjustable MR2 Inserts. PLEASE Specify which ones you will be using at time of ordering.

YES, If you use these with OEM style springs the car WILL be raised 12mm/ 1/2" from were you have it now. This is ALSO TRUE for the Cusco's, the Noltec's and the K-Mac's alike. Basically is the thicknes of the bottom of the bearing housing (1/2" or 12mm)

YES, you can use your Strut tower braces with these camber plates, ALL except for the Stedebanni's

Here's the TOP View:
1- Notice the LONGER adjustment window. Longer than Cusco, Noltec, K-Macs and Mookeeh. NOTE that in order to take FULL advantage of the FULL range of adjustment you will need to be using Coil Overs AND may need to trim some of the upper strut tower to allow for full motion. Its estimated that these will allow you to lower your car 2" or even 3" (If you can) and still adjust to give you a PERFECTLY 0Deg's of Camber and a perfectly aligned suspenssion. Same goes for Negative Camber. Its estimated at +4 Deg. at OEM heigth and +3 Deg at 1" lower than OEM

2- Notice the guide marks on the face are MUCH MORE smaller and more of them for more prescise adjustment, also see the mating mark on the bearing housing. This is ALSO more and better than all brands mentioned above.

3- Each plate is marked "L" or "R" for error free install. (Yes I know its not needed , a useless feature and pretty much self explanatory but believe it or not I have seen camber plates installed upside down)

4- The main plate is 1/4" STAINLESS STEEL not Aluminum for better strength and worry free "RACING" Silver Cad Plated for long life and cool looks.

Image


Here's the Bottom View:
1- Notice the Circlip keeping the bearing secured inside the bearing housing, this feature is shared BY ALL other Camber Plates manufactures EXCEPT for the Mookeeh's. Without a retainer clip here its likelly for the bearing to pull through from the weight of the suspenssion when the car is jacked up. Unless the gearing is installed from the TOP, but this will have the reverse effect as when you hit a bump you may get real nice nipples on your hood from the strut rod pushing through.

2- Notice the added holes for adjustment on the bearing plate, this is comon on the Cusco's bu not on the Mookeeh's or the Noltec's

3- The bearing housing is CNC machined from a solid block of alluminum and Gold Cad Plated.

4- Note the Off-centered bearing within the housing and the rounded edges on the bearing housing and diagonals on the leading edge, this is done to maximize adjustability and reach in an allready cramped area.

Image

Here's the Bottom Perspective:
1- Notice that the bearing housing retaining bolts DO NOT pertrude downward like the Mookeeh's. This is shared with the Cusco's.

PRICE is USD$250.00/AUD$340.00 Shipped to your door with Economy Air (6-12 days) post AND Insurance
PRICE is USD$265.00/AUD$360.00 Shipped to your door with EXPRESS (3-5 days) post AND Insurance

I know you guys may have other choices there like the Noltec's but just wanted to provide another choice in case anyone of you wanted to take advantage of it.

Are the bolts captive? ie. do you have to hold the bolt from below when tightening the nut above?

Mate, thanks for the compliments :beer

If you are looking at 2 or 3 of each let me know and price will be a bit less for BOTH product AND posting.

As for the Koni's we use the 2nd Generation MR2 Rear inserts on front and back and those the CHEAPEST I have been able to get them for its been USD$205.00 each ! Alot of us here us eht emore affordable AGX/KYB Adjustables for the same application with GREAT results and they are less at USD$130.00 each.

If I can get a more exact price for you just let me know.

Hello All

I appologize for the delay in ship time of the front camber plates but I just received the last of the hardware I needed to complete the system. Bellow is the item I was waiting on, PAIN to find in the correct size and load bearing configurations.

Image

This bearing is installed between the camber plate and the spring seat. this is used to aliviate the load and stress on the main bearing that over time can fail and will require replacement (Like the OEM Strut tops) So these little bearings will extend the life of the bearing used in the camber plates.

So YES now I have all needed for trouble free installations.
Again sorry for the delay but rather have inpatient and upset members than pissed off at incomplete parts and possible having to take the assembly appart to install these.

NOTE:
The camber plates WILL be shipped with all the bearings, washers and spacers Zip-Tied the way and in the order they HAVE TO BE INSTALLED. So when you remove the Zip-Tie MAKE 100% sure you remember how they were "layered" But asside from that its a simple SWAPING of strut tops. Remove old OEM Strut Top Assemblies and replace them with these. THATS IT !


Thanks
