Hi!

Retro Turbo's Heavy Duty Camberplates
READY MADE PRODUCT:

eBay listing above get's you set of HD stainless steel camberplates.

These plates allow wider range of camber and caster angle adjustment and super quick one as well, if you weld them into strut towers compared to using ones which you bolt on under the top edge of strut tower.

Here is sample car with that particular set showing you some angle of negative camber applied. Not too much as it's used on road not on track.





This particular set was CNC machined in stainless steel as you may either bolt it or weld it into strut towers, we can do set both in aluminium and acid resistant steel which you just bolt in - price stays same.

12 Months Warranty.

Price for Volvoforums.org.uk is 230 pounds + 20 pounds for p&p if you buy these directly from my FB page (U don't need to have FB acc). Price on eBay stays the same as sellers fees are idiotic.... Anyway, item to be paid by Paypal only at this point

It would be interesting to see how these fit on the car. I'm wondering how the weld in ones work. Do you need to remove any of the exising bodywork to do this. The standard ones are pressed to follow the curvature of the bodywork as well.

Hi.

In order to weld them into strut towers you need to grind off top of the tower - so I consider rather specialist job to have them welded under proper angle.

Good thing is, that if your don't have welding skills, you may just use them as a link between McPherson strut and strut tower, easy spanner job.

Main difference between welded one and bolted one is that it takes few minutes to set up camber or caster angle> when bolted ones... well, you need to undo all bolts to make strut loose, lift the front car up so McPherson is loose and then jiggle the angles - more like 30 min job.

We can make you curved ones no problem, but you look on cost over 400 pounds and there spec is pure racing, they will be useless on road as after every setup your suppose to check wheel alignment.

Hope that info helps

Follow me on FB, pics how they look on the car will be added this weekend.

Thanks for adding the extra info.
Do you also need special shorter shocks to use these as well ?

I realise these are aimed at those using their car on the track and not really road use. I wonder if you need to add a bit more info to the ebay advert so prospective buyers know exactly what they are getting. Might save you a lot of aggro in case anyone expects them to bolt straight on and things are a bit more involved.

If you use coilowers yes you may use shorter springs. But that depends entirely from you - and you need to be careful as you may finish loosing your sump if you don't use proper springs.

Thanx for suggestion regarding listing. Description is not quite finished, but extra info is not actually necessary as whoever spends 230 quid on those knows what they buy and what to expect from them. And you may use it on road no problem, it makes car handle better in corners. Of course they will not make another Ken Block from ya, but they add great improvement how car handles specially when you get them with coilower kit.

But, after quick though I will protect myself from possible boy racers and will write few lines explanation.

Sorry I didn't explain properly. I wasn't suggesting using coilovers. I was interested to know if it was still OK to use standard style shock absorbers with the camber plates.
I expect that they have been made to position the shock absorber shaft in the same position relative to the car bodywork as it would if you were using the standard top mounts. Is that correct ?

Yes, your wright. You may use those instead of top mounts with stock gear of your car.
