Are these basically the same?
Is the Vette Brakes and Products camber relocation bracket the same as the Doug Rippie camber brackets?

Hi
I have gone to Banski rear camber setup with precise camber settings, i have checked the camber rods and is very central to the suspension movement. May go with offset mounting points in future depending on the ride height.
Am now waiting for my trailing arms.

My plan is to go with the full Banski kit as well. I just purchased the camber rods and they are now installed.
I wanted to go with the DRM camber brackets, but they are out of stock and I can't find any on the internet. Also, they didn't answer my email about them, so I chose to go with the VB and P ones.

They been out of stock since early winter I think. Also didn't return my email either and I haven't needed them yet so I haven't called. I'll prob end up calling this winter as it looks like it'll be a next year project.

I have used the VBP . And the holes are over 1/10 larger than the stock holes . Im referring to the bolts that mount it to the rear end . In other words the brakets can move around . I don't know why VBP would make the holes larger than they have to be . Apparently they don't know either .I have pics ,have to load them up .
What year is your car? Is the rear from maybe an earlier C4 and changed for the axle ratio. VBP I would have thought could have easily explained the difference. VBP mentions applications '90+ but the M12 hardware was used earlier than that.

I'd think they only do the brackets for M12 hardware that was used on the later C4's. If your car is an earlier C4 then your solution would have or should have been to bore the differential housing and the cover to accept the M12 hardware that was/is required on the later C4's.
