Hey guys (I posted this in handling but it only has like 3 hits now and 2 of them are mine lol).

Last month I dropped my car with Sportlines and I decided I need caster/camber plates..

Do you guys have any suggestions (links) for the products?

Also I am looking for a decent set of shocks to replace my stockers (its a harsh ass ride now..lol)

I WANT d-specs, but I'm about $450 short of them..lol..

Any cheaper but still quality shocks?

Thanks.

just get the camber bolts? your tires are wearing on the inside right? mine did when i got my sportlines on them. all it takes to fix them is a camber bolt kit and a re-alignment. no need for a 250 dollar camber kit. the bolts will fix you right up.

Well thats comforting:)

so you got a link to these camber bolts?

My problem is that now my wheels almost touch my calipers because they lean inwards a bit..
I need to push them back out so I have space in there again..

neither camber bolts or plates will fix that.if that your problem you need wheel spacers

^^ negative ghostrider.. lol

the wheels will clear the caliper better if the tilt is gone.. they are just leaning in too much and need to be balanced back out..

plus I heard that wheel spacers are bad for the car..

the 18" OEMs should fit the 6 no problem.. I just lowered mine 2" so I need to fix the camber..

I still got no links for products.. lol

the bolts are available at tire discounters, they will run you about 110 dollars installed and aligned. it was a simple fix and only take about an hour, i dont have a link that i can find, but search mustang camber bolts on google. but they should be readily available to install at tire discounters, its not a part they have to order.

yeah. the plates give you more adjustability, but if thats your only worry then the bolts will fix you up just fine. but i will agree with the statement that the plates will give you more of a range when aligning. however i just dont know about them. it kinda worries me that theres a whole new part being added instead of an existing one being replaced. idk... maybe thats just me...

the expensive part of getting the bolts is alignment. the bolts themselves are 30 bucks. 100 includes the alignment, as opposed to say 320+ if you go the plate route...

Before you try and make fun of someones knowledge and help please be correct. please take a look at the link below and explain to me how camber bolts or plates are going to increase thespacing between the caliper and wheel?
If you notice the wheel, rotor, caliper are all attached to the spindle. when installing camber bolts you are adjusting the spindle arm everything attached moves with it. with your thinking the top of the wheels are going to move out a degree or twoand the rotor and caliper are going to stay as there were? How's that possible?
