I see that alot of you are running aftermarket shocks and springs. I dont know if there are any companies making solid strut mounts, but it something that you need to have for sure. Even if there are a couple companies out there, maybe we can make a better product at a better price. Here are some of the pillow tops that we have done so far.

 

interested in camber plates

 

yeah camber plates might help me out lol i dont wana notch my stock top.

 

Good to know. They would look a little different then the pictures obviously, but same concept.

 

I will be willing to be the Test Subject!! plus i can give reviews on how they do on auto-x. i've been looking to buy these for about a month

 

Sure thing. I will keep your name for a test subject^^^.

 

Id also be willing to test out as i am about as low as you get and NEED something to get rid of the camber

 

if you are releasing these i will go buy springs and shocks this week to be ready for the testing, my next auto-x is may 15th so if u want a review b4 then i can do it

 

Moving this back pending a Vendor account.

 

Thanks MarcS. Please send me the info on the account.

 

Can someone get me a used front strut assembly? I can start working on this right away if I can get a whole unit, with a spring.

 

So are you doing these again, or still or what? You were talking about these alot months ago, what happened? Are they designed to work with original style springs or only coilovers with small diameter springs.

I still dont see the point of a fixed or even camber only plate on a street driven car. Caster, maybe because it would give us an adjustment we dont already have.

 

Camber plates can be used on any car from a DD to a full track car. Yes I was trying to sell these or get interest but there were a few people that made it very difficult too. Yes you have camber adjustment on your car but when you lower your car there are a couple ways to go about fixing the camber. One- You can slot the bottom holes on the struts, pretty ghetto. Two- you can notch the top holes and make them oval, really ghetto. Three- you can get camber bolts but those are unsafe in my eyes. I torqued one down to 70ft and it snapped. Or Four- you get a camber plate and can adjust the camber more accurately and faster with out drilling or slotting your car. Also camber plates are good for autox'ers as you can adjust your camber at the track and put it back to stock much easier.

The solid mounts them self (non Camber) are still a good way to go as the rubber bushing in the factory mounts cant handle the beating that they will see with the new shocks. I am not sure why you think these are such a waste of money. Its kinda like the shock/lowering idea. You cant lower your car with aftermarket springs and keep the stock struts cause they cant handle it. I am sure you knew that already.

I am just trying to see if there is an interest.

The first set will be for non camber and the second set will be for coilovers, as many coil overs use a 2.5" spring.

 

My comments.

In the past 4 months have you been able to get an actual Cobalt upper plate produced?(any variation) Its really hard to take you even remotely seriously when you have nothing realt to show.

 

look into these. http://www.jbodyperformance.com/new/...catName=JP0709
these are the only ones out.
and camber plates are a really good thing for auto-x are u kidding? lol

 

i have a spare set you can have, its my old ones off my car

 

JBP.....LMFAO. you have to machine off 3/4 of an inch of the strut to use those.......


I never said camber plates werent a good thing for auto-x, did I?

 

Maven, you must have some type of beef with me, not sure why but it looks and sounds like you do. If you are running lowering springs on stock struts, that shows me exactly what I am working with.

Nwae, shoot me a PM with the springs, lets get this going.

 

No beef, I dont know you personally or care to, I am interested to learn more about your product and the research youve done,and get all the facts out to the people you wish to take money from. I just happen to be able to ask tough questions and push buttons apparently. If you look around youll see that my questions arent merely limited to noob vendor want-to-be's, I am just as hard on many other companies(TTR and Stance just to name the most prominent), you just get rather emotionally affected and refuse to back up your product and instead attack me, which further emphasizes my point that you dont know what youre doing.


I also like how you alienated potentially half of this site with your comment in bold above.......What exactly does my and others use of aftermarket springs on OEM dampers let you know about me(us)????? Its also excellent how you refer to me as "what" you are dealing with and not "who" or "whom".

 

I am not here to cause anything. I am just here to offer a product that is not offered yet. I am not getting emotional at all either. This was a feeler for a product to see if there was an interest for a particular product. I see that you do ask questions and I am fine with that. I love to answer all questions that you are willing to ask.

Here is where I got my info from my previous posts. Can you please show me where it says stock struts work with lowering springs? (just asking, not being rude).

OEM REPLACEMENT struts, are just as that. OEM STYLE replacement struts. Sure some say, valved stiffer etc, but when it boils down to it, they are not valved for lowering. Many have argued that KYB are not oem replacement struts, but if you take a few minutes out of your day and contact KYB AMERICA by phone, they themselves, will tell you that they WILL NOT honor the warranty these struts if on a lowered vehicle. So much for the ability of them to be lowered. Granted some do and have lowered on them for a while, don’t be shocked if yours don’t last long. Generally a strut should last well up to 5 years or more if not abused. But choosing a strut from this category and lowering past 1.5 inches or so, and you are definitely chancing it. If it does blow before time, then that’s more money to spend on new struts, alignment (you will need an alignment after every major suspension component change), and time wasted changing them, or time and money wasted for a shop to do so. These however have proved to be good for springs like the 1.2 inch lowering springs by progressive technologies and stracing. Anything more than that and you are chancing it.
