FC camber plates on FB tokico HPs

I have searched around this forum and google. I keep seeing that the bolt pattern is close to the same and that they can work. No on mentions what needs to be done to make said plates work though.

Just trying to hunt down information, anyone have any ideas about this?

I came across a very good deal on FC cuscos that possibly need to be rebuilt, so I was thinking about making coilovers for the FB out of them.

So, if anyone knows anything about doing this sort of thing or what needs to be done to use the camber plates from FC coilovers I would gladly appreciate knowing.

Not exactly specific to your situation but I was able to fit an FC front strut bar on my
SA by just ovaling the holes slightly with a drill bit. So the bolt pattern is pretty close.

Maybe post up some pics of the FC camber plates to compare.

Heres a pic of it:

if you dont mind sloting the bolt holes about 1/4" each and adding a washer go for it, but by the time you buy them and rebuild them i dont know if its going to be much less then just buying new fb plates from re-speed.

this is my fb with fc camber plates.
