Noltec camber/caster plates with stock struts?
As far as the build quality, I have nothing to compare them to. The only thing that makes me wonder is that the bolts are a smaller diameter than the studs on the stock strut top, leaving play back and forth in the mounting holes in the car. Shouldn't be an issue once tightened, as long as they stay tight.
Thanks for the pics. How does the car feel now?
I think I'm gonna max out camber at the hub ( bolts flipped ) and install the plates with the noltec logo right side up . Should be able to get more caster that way.

Didn't even think about the possibility of flipping them upside down, or is that possible? Not sure what the results of that could be without looking at them uninstalled. Just guessing, but would imagine it may be close to the same as swapping left/right. Feels good, but will need more time to say so that no placebo effect is taking place. Just switched back to my wheels with Star Specs just before the AX, after running my all seasons for a while. Still getting use to those again too.
Briefly researched that option of maxing neg camber at the hub and setting the camber with the plates. This should result in lower SAI, which is 15.5 for me right now. Looks like that might give slightly less caster with the way the adjustment window is shaped though. I wanted to try it this way first, and may try the opposite in the future.
Get yours installed Suby? I was a bit concerned about dirt getting in the top of the bearing and wearing it out prematurely. Not sure how much it will help, but I greased mine and then put some cut off ends of some motorcycle handgrips on mine to keep the top sealed.
Also did you buy these because I bumped this thread?? just curious because the price went back to $350
Sounds good! Was originally just going to get different camber bolts to get some extra. Saw in another thread they were $100 since late last year at least. Surprised they went back up, seemed like they just wanted to get rid of them. Maybe this thread started a run on them!
I had them on my sti swap. Helped me get as much camber and caster as possible. Bearings died after 2 years of street / autox
Crap I was searching and failed to see the date
