Anyone interested in adj. camber/caster plates?

I have a chance to get a run of 100 camber/ caster plate sets from J&M products, hotpart.com . These were produced a few years back, but the market did not demand them at the time, so all the product was destroyed..... I inquired about them, and the result is that if I am able to round up about 15-20 buyers, they will be produced again. They still have the CAD program to run them from. These are adjustable with a bearing in the center, no bushings.. I have no photos to show, but am sure at least a few of you will remember these from the website. The price will be approx. 200.00 a set.. Anyways, is there any interest?

**** dude $200 sounds good to me. My question is how much camber/caster can I adjust it to? my stock plate seems like I can get about -1.5 to about -2 camber. If that one can get more camber then that then I'll definatly buy a set. Let me know.

I asked him to give me the full details on these and possibly a picture.... I will post as soon as he gets back to me. The price will be 189.00

Revlimit, he said you will have way more adjustment than that....

Z28racer, did you find these on-line somewhere? He destroyed all the product a few years back..... ?

I would imagine you would have to make a larger cutout on the wheel-well to allow for the broader adjustment, but those look nice. My only suggestion is that after you have them set to where you want them, weld a support brace across the large caster slot about 1" away from the Light silver bearing part for added strength. They look a little on the flimsy side up the middle.

Thanks for the picture Tom. They have been revised slightly since that photo, I spoke with him this afternoon about the info you are needing. I will have a full detailed run down on them, hopefully tomorrow. There is no cutting for the mounting of these, they are a bolt in item. Thanks for the replies.... I will keep you posted. I also got new rear control arms from him, they have a spherical bearing on each end, like the Global west uses, but GW has a bushing on the one side. I will get some pics posted of them too...
