tylor Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I was researching the cheapest way to go about installing dc2 integra coils on my 280z and read that needed camber plates. t3's plates would cost a total of 400 dollars alone, which is why i looked on ebay for another resort. i found these and was just wondering if they would be similar to the plates at techno toy tuning. they would save nearly half of what i would originally spend. so.. obviously if they work, i'd buy them. thanks!

freaky510 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Nothing compares to the t3 plates but shit saving 300 would be a good enough reason to try them out.. plus someone has to be the Guinea pig Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 no. but hey your already using crappy dc2 integra coils lol might ass well top em off with some crappy camber plates too. Quote Link to comment

tylor Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Wait...how are T3 plates $400. They're $190. <?? two for the front and two for the rears, i suppose. unless you don't need two for the rear.....? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 two for the front and two for the rears, i suppose. unless you don't need two for the rear.....? Sorry, I was thinking 510 - didn't see you had a 280z. Might want to mention that you're asking about rears too, since I don't think that's the route most z owners go...? Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Keep in mind that those are "UNIVERSAL FIT", and that there is fab'ing work to be done. If you are a confident fabricator, then it is just your additional labor & hardware cost. It would be imperative to get them lined up & drilled out straight, otherwise you would ill affect the castor and camber. I don't remember........do the T3's have serrations in the slide halves, to lock them in place better, once tightened down? I doubt those universal ones do. Just my 2c's! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 It needs camber plates just to the install the coils? Why not use standard coils. Most aftermarket coilovers do not require camber plates. Im using stock Datsun strut top with my small-diameter coilovers. Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 blah blah mcpherson type struts blah blah lateral movement with compression blah blah you need a pillowball to compensate. Most people don't get that the CAMBER PLATE itself isn't NECESSARY but the PILLOWBALL BEARING inside it IS. Especially with shocks as small as DC2's. Quote Link to comment
