i dont see anything wrong with the install, y do u think is wrong to install the camber plate at a 45 degree? what r the disadvantage? did u ever think maybe someone did that for a reason? i am sure the owner of that car has no clue but in racing we do install the camber plate like that to gain more caster which makes the car turn better and no need to spend more money for caster/camber plate

Yeah there is this new guy in town, they call him DK.

DRIFT KING!

Not sure changing caster and camber at the same time via the camber slots is in any way going to make the car handle properly. If I'm wrong I would love to see the explanation but to believe it the info would have to come from an established suspension shop or well known road course driver.

Some people can't be told...

Interesting to know whether they come with an instruction sheet (not that you should need it) that describes the correct method.

I think he should get slapped in the head for installing the coilover like that.
