How soon do you need the camber kit? I'll have our kit available soon which will be the Last Word in adjustability and there's no way I could charge $350 for them and look myself in the mirror.
not sure what im seeing in the picture. is that a hex plate?

Yeah it's a hex. It's indexable for large camber adjustments on the lower arms but still has square edges so it won't move on you like a factory eccentric. I'll sell it as a full kit with shims for the top so you can fine tune with the front upper control arms as needed. Depending on your setup and alignment specs one "click" of the plate is good for .75-1 degree of camber adjustment.
The hex is most helpful in the rear however, where there are no upper control arms to shim in and out for camber adjustment (unless you have a C6Z). SO rather than buying and not using a whole bunch of plates for rear, you only have one to deal with. I'm behind the 8 ball on producing the kits, though. I have all the materials, just need to devote some CNC time to crank them out. I'll try and get some parts cut this week so I can have them anodized and engraved and ready to sell within a few weeks.
Edit: We had an impact at Watkins Glen last weekend. Car is effed up but fixable. Hit was hard enough to crack the cradle, but you'll see the camber is still good to go!

A few more observations and comments. If you lock your concentrics fully out, fully in, or rotated up into the pocket, they are less likely to move. Maybe not ideal but better than throwing away a weekend
my camber plates reuse stock bolts, i hate wasting perfectly good hardware
Adjusting Castor at either the upper or lower control arms should not effect bump steer.....that would require a relative height adjustement between the control arms and steering arm.
Never adjust ride height without scales. Never assume slack of symmetry means something is amiss....cars are just buckets of bolts, they are never the same. Ride height adjusters, camber concentrics, tie rod ends, etc....are rarely the same on both sides of a car
Got the alignment and heights close today. Sunday I'll get the car on scales. Back to the alignment shop in a week then two days at Summit to finish up my events for the year.
Posting here as well in case there is a different audience in this thread. Sorry for the spam. Moderators if I need remove one let me know.
Here they are folks. Sending a kit out to a CF member today for testing purposes. I engraved these on the CNC post-anodize. They'll be laser engraved on the finished parts.
Hope to have complete kits ready to sell within 2 weeks. I'll blow out the first 10 sets to CF members for $275 shipping included. After that they'll probably be $315.
