i dont know to much so sumbody correct me if im wrong........


depending on which plates your talking about you need to have the strut tops machined to seat right in the plate........ mazdatrix also sells the tokico blues already machined to fit the plates they sell also if im not mistaken

bump just for it

If you can change your own shocks/struts, you can install the plates.

Not to hard depending on the plates you got....the ones at Mazdatrix are bolt-on with minor cutting for max camber adjustment, others need to have more of the strut tower cut...the difficulty level is up to you and which ones you buy.

When doing camber plates you will not get all that much camber with the OEM diameter springs.

Have Fun ; )
