Where can I get camber plates for under $200?!

I am looking for a camber plate that will work on my stock suspension (temporarily) then with a koni/ground control setup (coming soon). …Autocross is KILLING the outside edge of my tires.

Someone told me I could get Tein plates for $160 but I have not been able to find them anywhere.

The cheapest I could find were the HKS units at Overboost for $270


Where else can I buy them?


Thanks,
Jason

That's because the 2Gen RX-7 tends to plow, especially when driven by a novice. Increase the front tire pressure a bit, and work on your technique. Most of the veteran drivers will be happy to ride along with you and give you some tips if you ask them for some help with the plowing problem.

I know I have just recently started driving the RX7 in favor of my Trans Am (the vehicle dynamics are just a hair different).

The camber plates are not intended to mask my armature driving. For now I am trying to salvage my tires. My car has stock suspension other then rear toe eliminators so the car understeers even more then a stock 2nd gen.

Sounds like a deal.

Does anyone have any experience with these plates?

What are those specifically?

I can use the top bolt from your factory strut can’t I?

What is the bottom spacer? The descriptions of retail camber plates never say anything about a spacer.
