MSI Camber plates

Is anyone running MSI camber plates? I wanted to confirm that they work with OEM type struts and that they do not change the ride height.

Contacting MSI would probably get you the quickest and most accurate information.

We have tested them. They will work with the stock strut, but they will also raise the height of the car by about 3/8".

I have a little something we've been testing for a while that I'm about to post a pic of.

If you are looking for camber plates that are compatible with stock struts and don't change the ride height, then you may want to take a look at ours:

http://www.hotchkis.net/scion-frs-su...er-plates.html

These plates are precision CNC machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and feature type 3, hard anodized finish for years of durability and performance. Each plate is loaded with a high quality PTFE lined bearing and is designed for easy service. The plates do not change vehicle ride height and are designed to adjust up to -3 degrees of camber when using the included strut bolts. Caster has been increased on this plate by +1 degree from stock.

Thanks for the info. It's hard to tell from the pic, but there doesn't seem to be any adjustability in the plate itself. Is the whole adjustability done with the strut bolts?

I'm looking for a camber plate that can be used with the stock struts and stock fixed strut bolts, and that won't increase ride height. There doesn't seem to be anything like this out there.

Looks that way. They would function exactly the same as something like the vorshlag camber plates without the added height increase from the adjuster block. Just because there are less parts doesn't necessarily make it any worse. These are the camber plates I will be getting in spring when my car gets lowered on the Hotchkis stage 1.

Although I have to admit the vorshlag ones do look way cooler lol
