Camber Plates For Coilovers

[a91what]

After reading some information online recently about coil over installations I stopped and took a look at how mine were installed. Took my part numbers down and look things up I found out that the BBK camber caster plates on the car Are not recommended for coilovers and that some people have even had failures. I do not want this to happen to me while I'm driving Down the interstate. I guess what I'm looking for is a recommendation on a set of plates to use to replace the BBK set and anything else to look out for.

Max motorsports.

Have a set on my watch list I'll buy soon. I figured cool overs weren't even a consideration for me until I got them installed

Do yo have the Grip BBK c/c plates?
If so I think it's the rubber bushings that makes them not compatible with c/o's.
I have a set of the Grip plates and was thinking of going c/o but read the same warning,
like posted above MM is probably your best bet.

I've only seen bearing style cc plates ran with coilovers. I've used UPR's on my daily driver with there coilover and front k member arm kit for the last six years no problems. I will be putting a set of there's on the coupe I'm building as well but I've had maximum motorsports on a previous car and they were nice to. having the two in hand I didn't really see where the extra cost between the two went honestly.

After reading recently about a major part failure from upr I don't think I will be buying theres

 

[Boostedpimp]

After talking with @madmike1157 I guess the thread I was reading was umpteen years old and of no relevance today. In fact he suggested the upr plates as well.

Now the question is steel or aluminum?

 

[MFE92]

I would go with steel if using coilovers.

 

[Boostedpimp]

I would go with steel if your running coilovers like mentioned above.

After talking with UPR at length I was steered tward the 7075 billet aluminum ones....
