I've got the camber plates a while ago but lacked the confidence and time to install them myself. You're video takes care of the confidence piece so much thanks for sharing your experience!
Great video, but I wanted to add some clarification. The diagram at the beginning indocates that negative camber increases under compression, when the opposite is true. Well, it goes negative for a little bit, but then starts to go positive with further compression which is why plates like this are used to dial in more static negative camber. The reason is that as the outer end of the LCA moves upward, it also moves inboard towards the center of the car pulling the bottom of the wheel in and increasing the positive camber.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, I understand your point and it makes sense to a degree (sorry for the pun). My observations have been that when lowering a car, the negative camber tends to increase which perhaps indicates that the offset created when shortening the strut length must be greater than that created by the swing arc of the LCA. I have no calculations or proof of this, just an observation. Cheers, James
Thank you for the great DIY video After having them for a year on your car what are your impressions? Do you get a lot of popping and groaning with the camper plates?
All the information one needs to make the needed changes and thanks.
Nothing more satisfying than installing a part yourself and knowing your car
Should add a video to show the camber :)

Very informative! Great video
Cool mod, well done 👍
Second to watch! Awesome information!
Did you need to use camber plates in the rear or are you able to get the correct camber from the rear stock?
Just on the front. That's where all the scrubbing takes place. I've found that rear camber is adjustable enough.
Thank you for the great DIY video

Unfortunately, I crashed that car at the track. See video. Up until then, I had no noticeable issues.
Great video but aren’t you Canadian? Why are you measuring height in inches like the savages to the south? 🤣
Haha, true but we old geezers get a bit muddled by times! 😏
