Ground Control CamberPlates and Stress Bar

[GC_Adam]

Good Morning all. We just got in our newest batch of camberplates and stressbar in gold, red, pewter, and blue. These currently work with 2.25", 60mm, and 2.5" springs.

Will the stress bar work with any other top plates? I noticed on the website it's an option to get it seperately.

Any plans to make camber plates that work with stock struts and springs?

Joe unfortunately not, the stress bar is designed to bolt to the GC camberplates.

That's what i figured i thought it was odd on the website there was an option without the plates though.

We're still exploring ideas on camberplates to be used with OE diameter springs.

I purchased GC's complete suspension kit for my FR-S.

Installed it and was able to get only 2.1 degrees negative camber in the front. I wanted 3.0+. Discussed this with Adam and he said he'd check with the engineers and call back. I think I was the first FR-S for their suspension kit.
He called back 2 days later and said the engineers had built different shock towers and they were on the way to me (at no cost). Installed them and was able to get 3.0+ negative no problem. The handling (autocross) on the car is now really good at 3.0.
GC's customer service with Adam is outstanding. He kept me posted on what was being done to fix the problem.

I highly recommend Adam and GC for your suspension upgrades on these cars.

I sent a bunch of pictures to Adam that were taken by a friend with a really good camera.

Adam can you post them?

I'm just a driver and not very good with this PC stuff.

Curious, what you ended up with for spring rates, settings etc? how much drop? how many clicks?
what did you do in the rear end- lca or bushings?

sounds like there arent alotta guys going this route, but those who do, are indeed serious about tarmac performance. any opinions you can share before and after strutbar? I would like to end up around -2.5 camber up front for faster tracks, and some autox.
thanks

Had the dreaded cel-traction control etc etc problem 2 weeks ago. Dealer replaced the ECU and the car now runs better than ever. Had to co-drive my old car in STR to get enough points for a second in class for the YTD points with one club.

Going to do two more events with the Porsche club in December then our season is over until February. I'll let you know how the car worked in December.
