Camber adjustable, No rubber isolators= less slop= better feel and response

short life span, bearing will wear and the noise will begin... just a matter of time...Might wanna start looking for a good aircraft style teflon lined spherical bearing supplier!

+1 on what everyone said. Get stillen camber plates if you're looking for some camber action because pillowball is a PITA.

Probably modify. I wound up changing Stillen plates for my Progress coilovers. Couple years back Tein wouldn't sell to me alacarte, nothing from Cusco either. Ground Control wanted like 10 or 20 units to fabricate. And there have been some custom CNC's one-off's around. Here's one I remember.

What about HKS? They make some....

Also, I assume the optional ones from the Tein SS would work. If they sell it to you, like Brian was saying....

I have progress coilovers also and my front left coilover is making noise. Do i need to rebuild the coilover or replace the upper mount?
Right now my toe is 0° and my camber is -1.2°. I would like to get to -.5° camber.

That's pretty positive for a lowered car but why not. Adjust the steering knuckle Progress crash bolts (assuming you put em in) and you should be fine.
