WTB: Aftermarket Caster Camber Plate

I am looking for an aftermarket driver side caster camber plate. I have clearance issues between the UMI ones and the Baer brake master cylinder and before I try to cut off and weld in clearance I'd like to trial it on another set. Any aftermarket set will do, doesn't have to be UMI.

I ended up picking these up from ebay. I have put them on the car, but haven't even drove the car yet. They were cheap and I figured I would take the risk on them.

I actually like that design. Certainly looks like they will clear my brakes. Are they set for stock height? They look like the make the strut mount lower than OEM? Might be worth the gamble. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: WTB: Aftermarket Caster Camber Plate

I grabbed some pics for you. I would say it may be a little smaller and shorter, but it's hard to tell. It is fairly close though. I got rid of the stock ones. I figured for $75 I would take the chance

Re: WTB: Aftermarket Caster Camber Plate

Wow, thats actually very helpful. I appreciate you taking those pictures. I am not understanding the spacers/bushings on the underside bracket. Shouldn't that bracket be flush with the underside strut pocket?

Re: WTB: Aftermarket Caster Camber Plate

See that is kind of what I thought too. It came with them so I figured I would throw them on there. Based off of some of the pictures of the big bulky aftermarket ones, maybe the spacers should go on top to bring that strut rod mounting location up. Comparing all of those other aftermarket ones, it does look like the mounting location needs to come up, probably the thickness of those spacers. My guess is the spacers are supposed to go on on top of the strut tower and under the plate. But i'm not doing that. I think that would look stupid lol. Plus its a drag car only.

Well, I bought a set. I'll give them a try. Need to check with koni if reduce travel hurts their struts.
