Buddy Clup Racing Spec

Hey,

I just received my Buddy Club suspension. I have a question. I ordered them with upper plates. Ususally this means that the coilovers will have adjustable camber plates, and these don't. I talked to the company I ordered the suspension from and they said that the FD set doesn't come with camber plates and that I paid extra money for some stupid plate. Now can anyone tell me if this is right? If it is then this is a bunch of bullsh!t. Thanks for any help.

They are right, the FD doesn't use camber plates. They are just hard pillow mounts compared to the stockers.

Only FC uses adjustable camber plates/pillow ball mounts. The FD is completely adjustable allready.

You basically paid more for pillowballs. that will make the rod movement more accurate and stable. It will also transfer all the rod movement and torque into the chassis causing more vibration and harsher ride. It is one of those many performance trade-offs. Hope you like your new race car =)
