V1 Camber Plates

[jirwin]

I'm probably (definitely) oversimifying things, but has anyone thought about creating some sort of camber plates for the rear suspension? The little triangles where the top of the coilovers mount could be replaced with something to allow adjustment, no?

It's been discussed at least a couple of times.

Once here;

V1 - LaunchPad's technology demonstrator -08 SS/TC donor- #109 registered

is it possible to have them as identical parts vs mirror image parts? My suspension geometry is quite a bit different than the stock DF setup, and there is a left and a right. The stock DF parts are identical. I can put some "stock" geometry models together that use the same FK bearing if you...

The BC coilovers from DF have a decdnt slot on the top bolt hole. I have about 3 degrees of camber and probably another 1-2 degrees left.

Really? Mine did not.

The problem on mine isn’t adding camber, it’s reducing it. A light car like these don’t need much camber, and iI have the problem solver rear bushing and the OTTP front. Camber isn’t going to shift much when cornering.

If your coil overs aren't slotted, you can always use camber bolts on the bottom of the strut instead of a new custom machined part up top. They are more of a failure risk compared to the mounting solution like you're talking... but they do work. I'm adjusted to somewhere between negative 2-2.5 degrees on the rear and still testing to see if I need more.

I'm staying away from camber bolts. I already lost one set of tires to them. Left failed and I didn't notice and it was basically destroyed.

 

[TravMac]

I can't blame you there. It is certainly a risk. I think the best real solution is the new rear cradle allowing more adjustment. I've had an inquiry out for a while, but I know the folks at DF are busy lately.

Inquiry as in looking to buy one outside of the first group buy thing? Lmk what you hear

You can always slot the knuckle/coilover hole.
