    Found some scrap at school, so I figured it was time to make some camber plates.


    -3*




    The turd at DOD


    Im probably going to be making more if anyone is interested. They will be out of aluminum this time to save weight. Probably go anywhere from -1* to 4* or 5* even.

    Cool trick. How did you cut in the angle?

    Have you thought about making the same thing but with drop built in?

    When I do mine I am just doing drop, and mine will get welded in to help with durabilitiy.

    Yeah I did, but if I build them into a drop plate, then you'll never be able to remove the camber if you wanted too.

    Its just easier this way.

    Not the best way to do it accurately for such a shallow angle.

    Thanks!

    I think to get a little more attention, I might go a little steeper with the camber.

    Gotta make it extreme right?

    I would rethink your design completely, cause the way you designed them, they aren't JUST adding camber, they are adding a TON of toe in.

    This is exactly what I was about to add.

    Unless these correct the natural toe-in that happens when lowering the mk3, these are merely exaggerating the toe-in effect, causing a great amount of tire wear from scrubbing.

    Yeah I already compensated for the toe-in on my redesign. I just whipped up the plates in this thread the night before DOD and didnt really care to put a 2-plane cut into the plate.
