Very interested, make a plate for people to attach a strut brace while you go the software fired up. Send out a update when you want to do a group buy.

you can attatch a strut brace to basically any camber plates, im almost posetive it wont interfere especially the ones he is desinging, maybe if it was mounted on top of the strut towers, but it shouldnt be a problem

Uhhhh mounted on top of the strut is not a good idea, too much stress on the bolts, the body of the car is doing the job of supporting the weight of the car.

I'm really interested in these. Will they have spacers for different brand struts? I need ones for the tokico road/race struts.

Definitely sounds good billy!

My question is will they work with the Tokico Hp Shocks (blue ones) most guys around here use.... they are direct stock replacements.

My resaon for asking is because other kits require a special shock because of the bearing on the top of the c-plates

Parts have been made and went out for powder coating.

I should have them back soon and I will post up some pictures.

We have design these to accept up to a 5/8 shock shaft. We will provide a spacer for stock diameter struts. As well as most any other shock if the purchaser tells us what the size of the shaft is.

These will work with stock upper spring seats or most aftermarket ones for 2.5" coil over springs. They have needle bearing washers underneath so the steering does not rotate the shock shaft.

These will mount without cutting the chassis. You will need to trim a bit to use all of the camber adjustment available, but not for the street.

We have rx3, first generation and second generation models.

so basically you can use them on the street, but no-cutting chassis needed unless setting the car up for the track...

And will work with fatcory replacement shocks with a spacer.... Awesome.... If all the info I wrote is correct, I am very interested! Is there a possibility of another group buy?

I must say you do excellent work over there!! This will be the third product I'll buy off you guys this year! (oil pedistal, big brakes... camber plates!!) You gotta get some decals made in slip them in the packaging!! LOL

Talk to ya soon!

Just a quick question... would re-speed ever get into making manifolds? Meaning exhaust manifolds.... I am seeing more and more guys going turbo, but the N/A guys need a spacer made or a entire manifold made to clear the n/a lower intake manifold.

That is to fit up a stock t2 turbo up, this is just a suggestion/question, not actually sure if there would be a market for this, or if you guys would even bother with that.

Here is a bad pic showing what I mean....



it's basically 2 plates with 2 tubes all welded up....

If we launch a group buy for them the price will start around $150 or so.

No cutting on chassis until you need major negative camber (More than you will ever need for the street - Or - Most setups on the track). Will mount upto stock shaft size.

Are you looking for just 2 plates with tubes welded or something that moves the turbo more?

First off the camber plates sound great.... looks like it's gonna be a great seller.

As for the spacer, yes the 2 plates with the tubes welded.... I know there are afew guys wanting to turbo their cars.... mostly the 12A guys. Re speed should look into this, the second gen guys would get in on that aswell! Research the board and see if it would be worth while.

I'll continue to check back to see when this group buy will start!

Parts have been completed and are at the powder coater. They have been taking a long time on this batch. They said they would have them done this week.

I have an rx3 set sold.

wrxracer55 and aws140 want a first gen set each.

wackyracer wants an rx3 set.

These are what I have for possible sold first run units.

We will see how this goes and maybe launch a group buy after those sets are accounted for.

I am staring one pair of the first gen and rx3 early next week. Anyone who wants to get in at $150 per pair of this run should speak up. Depending on interest we may launch a group buy.

Kit comes with the plates, bearings, thrust bearings, spacers and hardware needed. These will work with stock upper spring perch or most aftermarket perches.

what program do you use for your cad machine. and have you ever heard of a pantograph. those look pritty sweet
