Ebay Camber plate

Has anyone tried this strut plate. It looks well made and the price is nice I would like to here some feed back before I jump.

Open (non sealed) bearings seems like a really bad idea to me.

I'd go with the reputable brands (TC Kline, Vorschlag, Ground Control, heck even Dinan) long before I'd get one of these sketchy looking eBay ones.

that looks like garbage. if you want plates on a budget, get some ground controls... i think they're the most affordable of the mainstream camber plates. you can also likely get a used set from someone selling their car for $200ish.

Totally agree on that. The ebay plates look really iffy to me. I made the choice to go with Vorshlag over a year ago because of their quality and reviews from others on the forum and elsewhere.

+1 ... And if you can wait till next august I'll sell you my Ground controls..

Open bearing in theses make me scared... thre has got to be some sort of plate or washer or something that covers that open race. None the less the shiny aluminum looks pretty but i wouldnt get them ..
