Default Tanabe cmaber plates How are they

hey guys i need strut mounts kinda wanted camber plates that lower the front a little to even my ride hights looks out i know the RCE camber plates are good but there soo pricy i found some Tanabe camber plates for 150 new but i guess there custom in some way it rasies the front 7mm at max caster and lowers the front 2mm at max neg camber. what does everyone think? what should i do? i would rather have coil overs but dont have the money and allready have eibach prokit springs.

As is true with most other parts, you get what you pay for. Many of the JDM brands use cheaper pillowballs in their camber plates, which will loosen up and make noise over time. With something like the RCE camber plates, you are paying for much higher quality pillowballs, as well as attention to detail since they are made in very small batches. That being said, I'm sure the Tanabes will get the job done.

assuming they were designed for the stock struts and not tanabe coilovers, since most tanabes use a larger diameter stud

it's a gamble, especially with an ebay store but it's your $150 do as you wish.

don't let us convince you to spend your money more wisely.
