AE82 hubs have camber adjustment, accentric bush or something connecting the hub and strut.

I think they have a very differences though and dont bolt straight up to ae92/101. I know they have smaller brakes and I think the part where the strut mounts is a little thinner.

Might be worth investigating. I think you have around +-1 degree

mate, there is nothing wrong with the ones bazda has, i have the same suspension setup in my car, WITH the camber plate, there is no difference in quality of product between his ones and a brand name product,

the only difference is you'll pay alot more for something like TRD. it would be much better to buy same quality for less, and spend on something else

dont really get your logic, it's not a shortcut thats for sure :?

Logic is simple, put money into the parts that are important. I would rather spend it on a brand who has an R&D department designing parts and testing them for mass production. Its that simple. I am not sure how you can say there is no difference in quality between any two products when you have not even seen the other. The reason you pay more for a brand like TRD is because they have an R&D department and charge a premium for that and you can be assured you are getting a tried and tested product. This is not to say that any home made product can not suffice, just that I would rather pay the extra to get the product with warranty and proven results over years of track testing.

its not like a shock absorber, a diff brand camber plate isnt gona do shit, u can just slot the holes where the top hats bolt to on the car, we did heaps of that at Herbert Fabrication and Engineering for the rears on alot of cars..

Thanks I will look into those, that price is still cheap fo a good set of plates. Thats the beauty of a volume produced car I guess.

Yes there is, there is LOTS. What metal and what grade metal. What spherical bearing and tolerances etc. I would rather one that wont snap under load at the end of the straight all the same. Yes they are easy to make, thats not in question. Like I have been saying, its the R&D and track proven testing thats important to me. Again... I am sure yours are fine, just not for me.

He is already getting the sway bars in. I didnt think TRD did camber adjustment. I will have to look into it again. If it was just a street hack it wouldnt be a problem. But its spending time on a track, just wont risk it.

ok put it like this, if you were doing up a v8 for the nz supercars, and you wanted a good set of camber plates. and it jsut so happened that a top australian v8 team said they had some of their custom ones for sale,

would you tell them no because they are not a reputable brand, they like many others would have used them with great success on track. bu you wouldn't want them jsut cause you have too much money and not enough sense?

Well, seemingly unlike you I consider a top Aussie V8 supercar team a reputble brand with LOTS of R&D and track testing under their belts. You proved my pont nicely. Thanks for that :roll:
