Possible new caster/camber plates

Zach from 5one5 just posted on the forums over at FCDrifter.Org(my site) talking about making some new caster/camber plates for the FC. I'm not sure how many options we have already, but I haven't seen many personally.

Here's the link -> http://fcdrifter.org/modules.php?nam...iewtopic&p=120

I can't believe I never considered caster plates until now, seems kinda silly...

Oh yeah, he also expressed interest in running a group buy if there was enough interest.

Good luck with that.

You can't use rear camber plates in an FC. It doesn’t look like he knows much about FC suspension architecture.

That's what the RB rear camber adjuster is for. The bar that's on the rear subframe. Yea rear camber plates wouldnt work right. But I am interested in the idea of front camber and caster plates. Those would be helpful

eyeoutthere, I do know about the FC suspension. Like Mael mentioned, the idea for rear camber adjustment came out over some beers and I posted it up too soon. The front plates are almost ready though. The first set will be on my car in a matter of days for final testing. If anyone has any other questions then please don't hesitate to PM either me or Oni-kyan.

like i said earlier, have him make an adjustable rear camber link like RB sells but for an affordable price. $100 some odd dollars for 2 threaded eyelets is a little bit much.
