You are dead on! When I started designing the caster/camber plates, I wanted to minimize the stack height without sacrificing travel. This was the best solution I found which offers the lowest stack height with independent caster and camber travel.

Absolutely, we are working on several strut tower solutions now with the same design approach taken on the caster/camber plates.

The key to our design is to make the caster and camber adjustment independent of each other. Below are some shots of our product design, development and prototyping in process!

Wow! Looks great. I love the fact that it can be adapted to different shocks and springs. I look forward to see what you come up with for a strut brace.

Newby/uninformed question: A lot of metal seems to have been removed to allow a wide range of adjustments. Is there enough metal left to prevent deflection/fatigue under track and/or street pothole conditions?

No worries, I can understand your concern. To put things in perspective for you, the top plate on my Cusco coil overs is 1/4" aluminum plate. The thickness of the caster/camber plate where the camber slot is cut out is over 5/8" thick. We have a prototype sets machined and being tested now. Simmons is testing a set with KW V3 coil overs on his autocross car.

It's cool... There is no need to make an adjustable top plate for the rear because the coil over/strut is bolted to the lower control arm which adjusts rear camber.

So, yes this will be fronts only. Thanks!

Any ideas on preliminary pricing? With the SCCA proposing an allowance of camber plates in its new Street class next year I am 100% interested. I'm a northeast guy as well so I'll probably just head to a NNJR autocross and check out Simmons car.

Jarret and the crew are exceptional nice people and tremendously talented at making sexy parts that will work.

We are excited that they are local to us, and will be looking forward to rounding out our product line, with those that they will be offering as well.
Keep an eye our for their parts!

We are still in the development phase of the caster/camber plates. I won't have confirmed pricing until we get production cycle times off our machining centers. Thanks for inquiring!
