Pic request of RCE lowering camber plates on stockers

o2sys · 03-16-2007, 09:53 AM

Anyone running just the front lowering camber plates by RCE on their stockers w/o any lower springs? any one like to chime it on that setup? will it get rid of bounciness lil bit?

a profile view would be nice =) thank you!

I don't have a picture here, but I'll try to post one tonight. It didn't effect the bounce at all.

but does it lower it a noticeable amount?

According to RCE, their lowering camber plates lower 3/8" in the front.

Thats interesting, it hardly lowers at all... What kind of front camber can be achieved by using the RCE plates + stockers?

***QuickSilverSTi*** · 03-21-2007, 05:22 PM

Those are the Lowering version?

MadMan77 · 03-21-2007, 05:44 PM

That does look lowered and the front end normally sits higher when on stock springs.

They are "lowering" camber plates, but really just even out the wheel gaps front-rear, due to the front fenders being cut higher.

The drop of the RCE plates is more like 3/4".

thrlskr · 03-24-2007, 10:59 PM

To answer the above questions. Yes those are lowering plates and I achieved 1/2" drop on stock springs with -2* camber.

Easy if you've done similiar work before I'd say 1hr. It could take up to 3hrs if you're a decent wrench but have never worked on suspension.

im guessing you need yo use a spring compresser to remove the stock upper mount?
