Christmas a day early!
 
Today I received my ReSpeed camber plates purchased at a discount off eBay, and the G-Force Engineering manual I bought off here. I'm a happy man!

You're luck, my wife found out that I ordered a water pump and clutch kit for my car and she wrapped them up and is holding them hostage until Christmas!

Well, he had advertised two sets availble. I posted on here to let people know about it, but as it concerned an eBay ad my thread was deleted. You can check on eBay and see if he still has one set left or not. I saved about $60.

As was said, these are for camber adjustments only. The caster on them is static.

Ohh..I did not know that they did not adjust Caster... I want some for my autocross car... wonder if I really need caster adjustments...???

Not really, but if you do wish to change caster, see if you can find pair of MazdaComp adjustable tension rods.

what do you have on the autox car now? i'm constantly running -2.8 camber (the maximum setting without cutting or using spacers) you could also buy the mazdatrix caster/camber plates... but they are pretty expensive

Glad your got them before the holidays!

The caster is built into the plates by the design. Caster is good for high speed stability. It is not needed to make adjustments to caster like you would for camber.

Chief, if you want to be able to adjust caster,I might consider a trade for the adjustable Mazdacomp adjustable tension rods and adjustable LCAs that I have on the widebody. Went to get it aligned the other day and the best he could do was -2.5 on both sides with the camber plates set all the way out. Car drives straighter, no more wander, but I'm concerned about tire wear. Tires and wheels came from Japan and this model of tire is not sold in the US.

I go back in a couple of weeks when his new alignment machine comes in.

Thanks for the offer, but that was one of the other posters who was talking about caster adjustment. Since mine is going to be a street driven car, I don't think I'll need the ability to adjust caster more than what it will have. Time will tell once I get her fixed up.
