we actually made a new run of these and we have a few sets of FC camber plates left
kit comes with front and rear plates, upper 2.5" spring perch, and bumpstops.
the front upper plates are adjustable for camber, depending on ride height the range is probably from positive to 4+ degrees negative.
rear upper plate just holds the upper bearing. both plates are made from 1/2" steel, aluminum cracks, and 1/4" steel bends, these are beefy! the rears will stiffen up the rear shock tower area.
the bearings holders are aluminum and hold a standard 7/8" bearing, that is easily replaced if needed. the supplied bushing will fit any FC shock (tokico, kyb, koni)
upper spring perch has an integral bearing, so it can pivot, it also recenters itself if you raise the car in the air.
all the hardware except the bearing is metric.
all you need to complete the kit is your choice of 2.5" springs, we ran 7" long 350 lbs/in front and 7" 250 lbs/in rear
we do have the coilover sleeves and collars available but we need to know what shock you are running, as they take a slightly different spacer
price for the kit is $520, coil over hardware is + $80

Mike,
For the front camber plates how is the upper spring perch force transmitted to the camber plate? Is it similar to how ground control do theirs? I thought K2RD plates could do castor angle as well.
What about the rear upper plate? Does the spring directly rest upon the steel plate?
Any chance you can buy without rear plate and rear camber link? I already have hte front ground control plates, But I need need sleeves and collars, and new rear plate. My ISC racing kit is garbage.

screw it. I'll take a whole kit (minus the rear camber adjust bar).
Do you angle the collar to fit the front strut's lower spring perch like what Ground control do?
Can you supply the Eibach 2.5" race springs too?
This is what I want to run:
KYB AGX
Tell me what are good paired spring stiffness combos front and rear? I have 400/250 on the car right now with hacked together Bilsteins on a old GC camber plate.
I forget what were good paired rates:
400/275
350/250
300/225?
or something like that?

totally forgot to mention that. the upper spring perch rides on the slider block, so only the shock force goes thru the bearing. the slider is slightly conical, and the upper plate matches so it can pivot. rear upper is the same except it doesnt slide.
pauls design is modular, so the FC rear stuff with a different steel plate works for FD's and honda
paul does angle the collars

Since castor can not be adjusted what is the plate designed for? I seem to recall 6 degrees, but that was what I remember from 2004, and my memory of things 5 years ago isn't as great as it used to be.

i think thats right. paul pointed out that 1/4" of movement at the top is not quite a degree anyways. my bmw has 9 degrees of castor and the shock tower is visibly angled back
