camber plates?
#16
you can always talk to racecomp, they have a setup to convert your rear progressive springs to a standard linear spring setup so you can use whatever camber plates you want in the rear

Racecomp Engineering Camber Plates
These front camber platers were designed to be used with a conventional spring, lowering spring or coilover. Made of aircraft grade T6 7075 alloy, these units alow up to -3 degrees camber. These come anodized in motorsport gold and work very well with lowering springs as they lower any car by 3/8" WITHOUT sacrificing suspension travel. Most other camber plates actually raise ride height.
Note: This part is intended for motorsport use on tarmac. Extended use on public roads in urban conditions, potholes, rallycross, and rough terrain may contribute to premature bearing wear or failure.This part is NOT IN STOCK. PLEASE CALL.
Price: $499.00 </EM>

this is what it says on their website. apparently they're not recommended for daily driving conditions, especially roads like we have in California

of course bumpy roads etc. will wear out the bearings in the plates faster, as there's no rubber at all like the stock top hats. It'll give you a harsher ride but instant response(no rubber to squish first). Don't worry. If they use a quality bearing (racecomp, vorschlag, etc. do) then they'll last a long time. I have a couple years on my ground control front and rear camber plates, and they are as solid as the day that I installed them. If they ever do get a lot of play in them, I can just pop them out and put new ones in. Not a big deal at all

I just regrease the needle bearings every month or so. I find they start to bind when there's a bunch of rocks up by the needle bearings, so I just clean them when I wash the car. I also put thrust sheets on the lower spring perch but they seem to just attract dirt/rocks more than they help lol
