Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
We just wanted to share with everyone that we just improved our caster/camber plates. We are now shipping all of our camber plates with a 1 piece, chrome-moly, forged bearing cup. No more welds on the bearing cups.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
Was there something happening with the old ones that caused you to switch designs? I have a the older style on my car but it still isnt on the road yet. It will be mainly used for road racing/auto x, should I switch to the new style?

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
Those look nice. Better then most the other ones out there.
Still wondering why nobody has redid the aluminum ones like I have. (alloy eng. ones)

No, nothing wrong with the others. We are just always trying to figure out ways to make better products than anyone else.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
How much does this add to this current price?

The ones I got 2 months ago don't look like they're welded.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
I've put these to the test already on a tough autox course; they hold up just fine.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
So what's the price to upgrade to those? Already have the prior design.
Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
If you already have the prior design I wouldn't waste your money on switching to these. The old ones are plenty strong just more labor for us to build them.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
What is the design for holding the spherical end in? UMI uses a snap ring. What do these use? Thanks!

>>>So when the glue and the snap ring eventually fail, you loose your wheel assembly.
Never on my car. I want a top insert bearing that would never come out the bottom and loose a critical suspension mount link.

Re: Founders Performance New and Improved Camber Plates
Spohn has made them for several years now out of steel. The aluminum ones fail over time and the bearing comes loose. due to metal fatigue around the snap ring. The steel ones have yet to show any failure signed with many years testing. Hunter has a great design and Spohn perfected the one weakness with steel units rather than aluminum.
