Rennline Sealed Camber Plates
Under extreme conditions, such as road racing and autocross, negative camber is required to keep as much of the tire's contact patch on the road as possible. Stock suspension mounts will not allow you to achieve the necessary amount of negative camber required for this type of performance driving. Rennline's sealed camber plates incorporate FK motorsports spherical bearings and eliminate the indistinct feedback associated with factory rubber mounts. Comes as a set of two. Why are Rennline's strut mounts the best?

• Drastically increased bearing life due to the integrated factory GT3 weather seals.
• FK Motorsport Teflon-lined spherical bearings.
• Rigid bearing mount, not clipped in like some products available.
• Specially machined upper nut to allow clearance for maximum negative camber settings.
• Allows for up to 1.25 degrees of added negative camber.
• Special tool included to hold strut shaft from turning when tightening upper nut.
• Can be used with all factory and aftermarket struts, Including factory non adjustable units.
• Webbed machined base for light weight and superior strength.
• Fully rebuildable
• CNC machined 6061 anodized aluminum construction with stainless steel hardware.

Note: When using factory non adjustable struts with factory spring seats, weather seal must be removed.

Tarett Engineering Camber Plates
  • Replaces the compliant factory rubber bushing with a precision Teflon-lined spherical bearing for increased front suspension rigidity, quicker steering response, and better handling.
  • Two sets of mounting holes allow for more than 1 deg of extra negative camber.
  • The housing is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum billet, providing high-strength, light weight, and a perfect match to the factory mounting surface.
  • The spherical bearing is securely clamped in place in the billet housing. Other designs use a small retainer ring to trap the bearing in a bore, which can result in annoying rattling and even possible failure.
  • Reduces front wheel camber changes during hard cornering to maintain optimum tire contact for improved traction.
  • Fully compatible with all factory and aftermarket style upper spring seats.

Mode Inc Camber Plates & Shock Mounts
These billet aluminum camber plates/strut mounts are a direct replacement for the original rubber mounted units. The OEM units flex and move during cornering which causes spongy handling characteristics. These precision engineered mounts will add more precise handling while allowing 10mm more negative camber adjustment. Will work as OEM replacements or combined with other suspension systems. Each component is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, assembled with stainless steel spherical bearings and hard anodized.

H&R Suspension Springs
The most popular spring in H&R's line-up, Sport Springs will lower your vehicle an average of 1.5 - 2 inches (depending upon the make and model of your vehicle) for a lower center of gravity, improved handling and a more aggressive appearance. Sport springs feature more control than that of the OE Sport spring, but is still comfortable for daily use. Sport springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use.
