I'm want to install these on my stock suspension. the problem i have is that the threaded portion on the factory struts is very short and it doesn't clear the top of the spherical bearing so i can't just use a regular nut with a sleeve under it in the bearing to fill the gap. i have to have the pillowball nut specifically for the stillen camber plate and i only need one. if any of you guys have one or know where i could have one fabricated, please let me know. i have a sleeve and nut i can trade you if you have after market struts or coilovers. thanks for looking.

edit: after looking at a picture of kyb's, my sleeve/nut setup may only work on coilovers. hopefully someone could share their knowledge here.

 

I ground the stock nut down so it fit into the bearing upside down. Got me by when I had the camber plates but no nuts. Best pic I have


They were made by Cusco, so check with them for replacements.

 

how did you tighten them? i talked to a Cusco dealer in the states and they had no record of Maxima plates in there catalog so he called they're Cusco contact in Japan and they also had nothing. I recently replaced the spherical bearings. i checked Cusco's available bearings and none of them matched the stillen plates. i honestly think Stillen ordered empty plates and got the bearings and nuts in the states. can't confirm this though. i'm hoping someone at Stillen has a clue and can help me out if nothing pans out here.

 

OT here, but that is a nice engine bay..

Edit.. how the heck does your car have no sign of rust? west coast car?

 

I used pliers. I had planned on welding on a nut or cutting flat sides for a wrench but never got around to it. I never had an issue over the few years I had them.

I have Cusco camber plates for my B13 and they are exactly the same design, just smaller. Either Stillen bought parts from Cusco or they really ripped the design off.

 

NE only, I try and keep it clean. Pic is 3-4 years old, in its prime. Im still fighting rocker and rad rust.
