I was going thru the Summit Racing cataloque and it had Extreme Camber Plates by Chikara which claimed that it would lower your car without the need for changing the springs. Is this possible and does it screw up your alignment? I've already got H&R springs on my max but the front end still seems to be fairly high when I compare it to BMW's or even what appear to be stock Honda's

Thanks.

With 4.5" of clearance (lowered it more since then) in the front... it still looks high.

I noticed that you have coilovers... I assume that is why your max is so low. But do you know if I put on Camber Plates I can lower my car more?

I'm not really sure how camber plates are supposed to lower your car. I thought they were to correct excess negative camber after slamming a car.

I'd ask for clarification from them.

I'm not sure how the camber plates will lower your car. Someone did mention that Cattman's camber plates are installed from the top instead of underneath, giving more suspension travel.
