camber plates
I finally finished some camber plates for my 1303. Later I will also machine for caster adjustment.

Those look like the real thing.
The ones I made are quite similar, but I havent tried them out yet. Now I`m planning to use stock rubbermounts with spherical bearings and make camberplates that can be used with them. I am aiming for more comfoutable ride with added camber adjusment. Justin |

Hey those are real nice, what kinda brake/ suspention setup are you running?
Im doing early 944 stuff on my 1303, but i have a nasty case of positive camber. i have not gotten all the parts i need (like ball joints) to do the swap, and im not sure if Toplines camber bolts will help.. from what i have read the topline camber bolts have an increased adjustment, so maybe i wont need camber plates...ect to fix this issue. But just wondering... can you make more of thos camber plates? like for members on this forums if people are interested? i might be interested if i cant sort it out with other means. I still have not decided on Toplines "Max-struts" or lowered housings with lowered sport springs. it seams that in order to use those camber plates you would need a fairly low profile spring to gain any sort of cleance for the strut to move in. Later, Jonathan

I am also running early 944 disks with 944 spindles, 944 struts with kyb golf shocks, 12in. SAW 150lb/in coilsprings, adjustable bottom perch, camber plates with spherical bearing. I am also using kerscher ball joints and a 22mm front sway bar and and the stock rubber bushings were replaced with urethane units. Those camber plates involved alot of machine work and since I was a beginner it took me a long time to complete them. But I am very happy with the way the car handles now. The turning and the overall feel of the car have increased greatly.
Personally I think that toplines "maxx strut" is a waste of money. If you want to run smaller diameter springs use some factory crx or many other vehicles that came equipped with 80mm o.d. springs. |

Here is my 3rd generation of "homemade" strut top-mounts. Teflon lined spherical bearings, 1 degree of positive caster added and 30mm height adjustment.
