yeah its only a street car, the struts have already got one or two degrees camber bent in to them, and 3 or 4 degress castor in them...so its got heeps for street use... im only going with the noltecs, is because the bloke i bought the struts off ran noltecs with the struts, and had no worries, and its to hard to try and fabricate a set my self.... lot easy in my eyes just to spend the 500 bux for the ready to go set....

Hey Woody,
I find adjustable top is better than nothing .... my only point of disagreement with DD is that you need coilover setup to get a result. I have found the plate itself limits the adjustment and the spring does not foul (in my car). However, I have used the Noltec top and modified it to give more neg. In stardard form it isn't quite good enough for neg camber but great for instant castor adjustments. Depends on street or track use I suppose. Be prepared for the front end to rise, as the plate will raise your ride height.
Cheers

Any adjustable strut top is a false economy.

To use the adjustable bit, you need small diameter springs to make any reasonable changes.

I bought a lot of my stuff from sssute on here. It's all good stuff.

Camber plates = $360
Adjustable spring mounts = $217
200pound Springs from King Springs (including helper springs) = $395 delivered
..could have done it for $80-$100 from Allsprings..bad decision.
Did all the labour myself (finishing it off tomorrow)

Total $971..

Will it handle after all this? I hope so
