Installing the adjustable camber/caster plates from J&M Products

Hi !

(i used the search engine, but didn't found the right answer)

I m planning to install the adjustable camber/caster
plates from J&M Products since the old plates are gone.. .
Anyone have experience with this ? what's should i know and
what do i need ? which tool for alignment etc ??

Can you also tell me the best settings for street and track use ?
Is it easy to shift to another position or do i need to re-align
by a "wheel-align centre"

Thanks for help, below you can see which one i have..
Bye !


I have also one more request :
If you also have the same set, please show me a pic of this installed.. thanks !

You'll need to have it re-aligned by someone with the proper equipment (i.e. a tire shop). Unless you really know what you're doing. It takes some work to properly adjust caster and camber. I spent almost 2hrs getting perfectly where I wanted, and I was using the a laser Hunter DSP900 alignment rack.

Most decent shops can set you up for what you want. For aggressive handling you'll want them to stay to the low (negative) limit on the camber, but as long as you keep it with in factory specs, tire wear will still be decent enough.

Hi thanks for help !
Where did you get that DSP900 ? Is this a "mobile" align rack ?

And also tell me the factory settings, or the settings which
u will recommend me... i m using the car mainly at street.
but sometimes at track..

thanks !

How much negative camber were you able to get out of these?

They have been redesigned since then, so you might wanna call J&M to get the new specs.
