they did have that back in the day, they can prolly still do it. the big problem is that the stock spring is big enough that it really limits the amount of negative camber you can have

Depending on how much camber you want/need, they may do the job. If you need a lot of camber, then you'll have to go with coilovers, which use a smaller diameter spring.

I went with the Respeed camber plates (www.re-speed.com) for a number of reasons, but mostly due to the outstanding customer support provided by Billy. They are very nice and I am very happy with them.

As I continued with autocrossing, I found that I wanted more camber than I could get with the stock (actually racing beat) springs. To fix that, I talked with Billy and picked up a set of his coilovers, which I am also very happy with. Used together with the camber plates, I can now get more camber than I need for racing.

Good luck with your mods.

The Respeed coilover also gives you more spring rate.
