I only run -1.8 degrees (OEM rims are pretty stiff) so I haven't bothered to find out how far the plates will adjust. That said, when I saw your post, I went out to look at the car, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do allow a lot of adjustment. The limiting factor for most camber plates is the small size of the opening in the fender where the strut nut hits the edge of the opening at the limit of travel. The Steeda plate positions the strut nut low enough that it might actually fit under the edge of the opening. That would allow more movement than other plates. I can't confirm it but it looks that way. Besides, I doubt that Steeda would claim that range of movement if the plates couldn't deliver.Thanks for the very helpful guidance and info @JAJ and @OPMustang Tim. Those options both seem like a good fit for me since they retain the OE rubber spring seat. In comparing them it appears that the Steeda plates are capable of a greater degree of camber adjustment? ...
Question: I want to switch between Street and Track on the Camber because the Tire wear using the Track Camber settings.
I had my new tires installed and Ford set the Camber to the Street setting and now the car has no front grip (con) no Tram-lining (Pro)
I want something easy to set track side.
Some of the Brands I am looking at... Any Thoughts, Suggestions or comments?
How are Pedders Adjustable Camber Plates $225.86 AM Price
Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber Plates $247.00 AM Price
J&M Caster Camber Plates $229.87 AM Price
2015-2019 Shelby Caster Camber Plates $259.00
I drive my car with -2.5 on the front all the time and there is no issue with tire wear from the camber and I don't find it nibbles aka tramlines at all. I often think these two things are more a tire issue than a camber issue.
I had a bad experience with MM's support of their camber plates and would not recommend them for that reason. A bolt in the mounting plate snapped at far less than their specified torque and they got all bent about it, blamed me, my (brand new high quality) torque wrench, and ended up charging me money to ship a new plate. Ended up costing me way more in money and aggravation than it should have. I am not the only one that has had this bolt problem.
Tramlining is inherent in the GT350/R independent of tires. I experienced it on PSS, PSC2's, R7's and Michelin slicks. Seems to be a trade off for good handling. Increasing Toe in reduces it, but compromises on track response to steering inputs.My GT350 tramlined badly with the SC2's and -2.0. It could be a handful.
Those are all great options but I'd look for the new CC plates that come with the 2019 GT350R. They have adjustable spacers that allow you to make precise adjustments for both street and track. The added cost will easily be made up in saving money from alignments. Not sure of the part number.
I had the dealer install my 2019 GT350R camber plates (or adjustable strut mounts as they call them) and everything seemed fine. But I had my car aligned for the track, and the shop said the right side couldn't go above -1.8deg camber and the caster was a full degree below stock (and caster in not supposed to be adjustable). The left side got up to -2.2deg camber and was at stock caster.
I've had a different experience. I replaced the SC2's with PS4S tires and the tramlining is non-existent for me, and that's with Vorshlag plates and -2.5 camber up front. I guess YMMV.
KR3Z3A197C RHI think the new plates are around $760 for the pair, I’ll dig up the part numbers. I was hoping Ford Performance was going to offer them to owners of older cars but sounds like that’s not on the radar
