Check my other threads as the springs will generate excessive rake with camber plates. I had to get 22 mm spacers built to fit on top of my GC camber plates to even out front and rear height ...

I have read that the best spring rates to run for handling purposes are as follows in regards to the natural frequency of the suspension (which needs to be modeled).
Street car: 0.8 Hz. Occasional autocrosser/track: 1-1.5 Hz. Full-bore autocrosser/track: 2.2-2.5 Hz. I have heard some people say they feel the 2.2/2.5Hz suggestion is too soft for the track and they go as high as 3Hz.

PM me and I will pass on my reference that designed this for me. Here are instructions from him: Your indicator plates need to go between the camber plate and the red spacer, not between the red spacer and the chassis. The red spacers are engraved beside the phillips screw in the top to show which side of the car they go on. The screws are locating pegs and should not be removed. This arrangement fixes the indicator plate relative to the car, rather than letting it float around. It also biases the plates in the direction of more camber, so it permits you to select the maximum possible camber within the range of the slotted holes in chassis and the camber plates. Because of the long screws, you may have to remove the camber plates from the strut to get the bolt plates installed. I am sending you my old camber plate bodies along with a set of oilite bushings. The slots in my plates have been widened by just a bit so that the oilite bushings fit. This results in a much smoother adjustment of the plates and constrains the movement to a pure camber change, rather than being sloppy in the caster direction. "

Here are random posts describing the issue.
My situation occurred with camber plates coupled to Swift Springs. Dont know if this is common with any camber plates on the market, and aftermakret springs. Rake would not be an issue with coilovers of course ... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...38&postcount=5 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...0&postcount=16 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=19 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...5&postcount=23

Vorshlag plates have the options to add an extra top ring to gain about 5mm in height or as is at OEM stack height. A good alternative.

Does this allow more camber by letting the nut above the camber plate to get below the shock tower and avoid hitting hit? |

Is that -3.5 with or without the extended M control arms?

I also had to make spacers for my GC plates. I made them 10mm and had GC make the stud bracket with longer studs to accommodate for the additional thickness.

Has anyone figured out if Swift can make custom springs? I would like to get a set of swift r springs with stiffer front spring rates to go with a set of koni yellow shocks.

I considered going with coilovers but I dont want to have to deal with the hassle and added cost of corner balancing the car. I would assume that whenever you install coil overs you would need to corner balance the car right?
