Camber plate question. Igor vs. ECS vs. 2B
Anyone know if the 2B camber plate adjusts farther out than a properly done Igor camber plate?
My goal is to get the camber as close to factory spec. I have read that the Igor helps, but doesn't quite get you there.
Ultimate goal is dead even tire wear.
I have the Igor plates (purchased used) and my fronts bow out still. Riding on Eibcach springs.
TIA.

2B with Eibach here...................
I do not know about whether you can adjust more or less than Igor mod plates with the 2B set as I have never tried the Igor plates but I would bet money that you can. The 2B set up was a real PITA initially because they had a bad run of the bearings in the slider portion of the set. I have replaced each side twice now but the latest versions have been in there and absolutely noise free for the last 10K miles.
The reason that I got the 2B is that not only can you get well within factory specs but you can do better. Not only can you control the Camber to within whatever range you want but you also can add a lot of caster which I find really helps these cars track straight.
My $.02

2B coilovers on 2B camber/caster plates on my V8....
...& I love the plates! Well I've only put 800 miles on the car...but no uneven tire wear yet. & believe me I'm trying to mess something up...BUWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA
I'm not sure about the Igor plates...but lots of listers have them & I haven't heard any bad comments on them yet. Much cheaper as well. But the 2B ones are well....2B ones ;-)

Ah , Ron, is the picture of your black v8 on LM reps current?
in your pic poster... is that on the 2B coil/Camber setup?
If so, that's the stance i'm looking for.
My fronts bow out a tad. Hmmm maybe i should get the coilovers too hehehehe

The caster feature seems to be a big plus (almost price justifing) however...
I've heard a couple mentions of them being noisy (knocking sound) anyone here expierencing this?

Yup....the suspension is incredable!
But my spring rates might not be too you'r...or anyone elses taste. But it's like riding on/in a...& I hate to say this...but on rails!
I gotta dig up the paper I have from the alighnment...but the guy who did it was like a kid in a candy store...I all most had to call a cop cause he was getting weird touching the camber/caster plates...freaking pervert!

I've driven on H&R on Bilstiens & Konis..& Eibach's on Bilstiens/Konis...Vogland, Intrax springs & nothing even comes close to the coilovers! Well...one guy's suspension comes to mind & that Neil's on the Red Barron (Urs6 2.6l stroker) on Dave Stone coilovers with his camber/caster plates w/dual adjustable Konis....that car handles like nothing I've ever driven! But Dave Stone coilovers got for round $4,000.
