Ben, I don't think it's appropriate to make slanderous claims like that if you don't have proof of it happening. This is a technical thread, not OT (where mostly anything goes).

In my case, my plate slipped because of user error, as I hadn't torqued down the adjuster nuts after installing. I tossed the car into some hard corners (RE070s squealing) yesterday and the adjusters have not moved since tightening them.

i only posted that b/c you had yours slip. calm down.

***nandanrp*** · 07-11-2007, 09:34 AM

I am calm. You must realize, however, that people (n00bies and those less informed about suspension components) will read your post and misinterpret what you say. I felt compelled to clarify.

I see your point, but 98.3% of the plate out there use the same mechanism to secure camber settings. seems like it is the accepted norm.

Really?

I can think of RCE, PDE, cusco, WL, Noltec, Ground Control, and tein. Of those I know that PDE uses a no slip design, but IDK about Noltec, GC or Tein.

Even if PDE was the only one of the 7 that is still ~85%.

noltec plates use the same basic concept to secure the setting although they rely on the whole mount to secure them.

So, does anyone think i have the right plates?

From our records, Alex got the lowering RCE plates. You are fine. 06's sit a bit differently then earlier models.

And from the pictures of your ride height they look like the lowering plates too.

Why are your camber plates black?

I thought they were only made in the goldish color....

*hopes that mine are goldish in color when I get them installed*
