Ebiach won't help if he's planning on dropping more than 2". Any camber plates it's going to be expensive. I believe GC sells some too. I believe they are in $200 range.

Camber BOLTS

There are no such things as camber plates for our cars. There camber bolts and the cost is around 30 bucks for a kit. They come in two sizes, one to adjust up to about 1 degree and another bolt that will adjust up to around 2 degrees.

while on the subjext I want some more opinions. I'm installing GC + AGX and I want to know if I really need camber plates (or anything else) i don't plan on dropping anything lower that 2" except for a few rare cases when I want to show my car or do it just for a day for fun

If you don't plan on driving around with more than 2" drop, you won't need camber plates. The only reason I have them, because I got them used.

Those plates look nice! Never saw that setup before. The bolts do the same thing and I'm sure cost a lot less and are easier to install.

Just inner tire wear. If you do autox, you probably want the excessive negative camber anyway

The bolts only give you about 1 degree of adjustment, the plates give you almost 4.

Hmm I guess you've never seen a stillen cataloge before huh?
I also believe that the plates mount on the same studs as the FSTB(front tower strut brace---yes they make these) I cant believe it would be difficult to put those on when changing out your suspension.
