How do you guys adjust camber?

I just got some suspension setup for FD and I can't seem to find any camber plates designed for FD for sale.

What are you guys using the adjust camber on these thigns?

You don't need camber plates, FDs have a REAL suspension. Camber, caster, and toe are all adjustable. Take it to REAL performance shop to have the car four-wheel aligned.

I love your answer, you just basically said, "No, you don't have to spend another couple hundred dollars on another part."

Thanks.

Yep just take a look at the lower control arm mounting points, eccentric bolts!

Depending on ride height and tire/wheel size you can get around 2.5 degrees +/-, that would be too much camber in most people's book anyway.

I'm in the process of doing my alignment.

Find someone who roadraces and borrow their camber gauge.
It's a very time consuming process, so if you can find a shop you can (trust) to take their time and do the job correctly and in the right sequence, it might pay
off having the shop do it. Loan them your workshop manual. It goes into detail
on the adjustment procedure.
