You have some interesting pictures in your blog, I can tell in your country roads are pretty similar to mine, because same thing happened to my oil pan but not as bad as yours. The camber plates are really nice. Are they custom made for you or I can order a set :D

They was designed by me. I think little bit later you can order a set.

I have rears too, but they are not finished yet and not ready to be revealed :D

Took some shots just now...









As you can see, I didn't dial in much camber but the front bites well enough even for track days... Tyre wear is pretty even for the front..

Anyway, just sharing.. Don't think it's feasible to ship anything heavy half the globe away... Furthermore, the top nuts are different for different types of shock absorbers... some have 12.5mm thread and some 1.5mm thread..


oh btw, the IS lip you see in the photo is actually beaten out of sheet metal...

^^ Swiss, how did you go about getting those made? Or can you buy them off the shelf? Ive notices there arent that many coilover manufacturers who do decent kits, other than KW.

well, kw produces this Adjustable front camber plates to fit perfect with your kw coilovers.. i have no idea if it fits with other coilovers.. but i think, when the kw coilovers fits in the stock camber plates the adjustables will simply replace it.. but to be sure i have to ask..

Well id imagine that their adjustable top mounts are universal, most kits are but correct me if im wrong. Do you have a link for the KW top-mount plates?

i am sorry but there is no link anywhere for the mounts!! they are racingparts and produced on demand, so you can give them a call and ask and they will start their mills to work only for you..:D
