camber plates without coilovers?

Postby toyotanut » Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:33 pm

I am setting my 86 up for a little mild autocross and a few track days here and there with a little driver duty every now and then. I am already running a 6 point weld in cage am trying to figure out if there will be any issues with running camber plates with Megan lowering springs? There just doesn't seem to be a lot of room. For the spring seat to move around in the strut tower. Simplified, are they worth the money if I'm not running coilovers?

I actually called T3 today and the fellow I spoke to in the phone said that with a factory spring diameter I will still get around 2.5-3 degrees of adjustment.

Camber plates work fine on stock springs and still have reasonable room for adjustment. My car has tein camber plates with megan springs and there are no issues. However, I don't recommend the megan springs, especially if you're getting them for track/auto x. The performance kind of sucks due to the progressive design and really low spring rates..

its made for running a drop on spring with camber plates


Are you sure that's what those are for? The first line of the product description says they're meant to be used with coilovers. I haven't seen any ae86 coilovers that use stock diameter springs.

I know there are upper hat systems available to work with stock diameter springs and camber plates. I have some on my car but I'm not sure on the brand.
