Thanks Pierre
Was thinking more along the lines of someone having a good set lying around. Am prepared to pay a reasonable amount. Just thought I might be able to convert someones dust collectors into cash. Cheers bob

Hey mate, i picked up some 180 sx cusco ones which fit straight in if you file a tiny bit out of one bolt hole in the body. Its that small amount you cant notice it! I also am die grinding a bit more out of em so they can come in further as they sit 180 degrees rotated in the 180 compared to the dato, so all the adjustment is mostly for positive camber, but there is enought meat in the top plate to carve a bit out so i can get a bit more neg camber out of it. I am tryin to pull the tops in as far as i can to get 195/50/15s on stanza struts under the gaurds.

I have been down this path.. and it doesn't come cheap in the long run.
First comes the strut tops. Then comes the Hmmm I need more camber, but the large diameter springs stop that.. So you get threaded adjustable platforms for 60mm springs fitted. Then you find the springs require 'helper springs' to accompany the springs you've chosen. Choose springs for the lowest the car would ever be set. You need to be able to raise more than you need to lower. Springs sag. The dollars add up quickly. But it's worth asking as lots of people are doing projects it seems.

That ebay item seems well priced, I bought a set very similar from a member of this site and they are great, I think I get about 2.5 to 3 degrees camber can put some pics up.

I have been down this path as well dattodude so I know what to expect.
The ebay ones look ok but as I said I might be able to deal with someone that is mutually benifical. Cheers bob
