    Default MKIII Camber Plates

    Hey guys,
    Who makes the best Weld-In camber plates? While the car is getting caged, might as well weld in the plates

    Thanks

    Weld-in's from shine racing or bolt-ins from GC.

    We went with the GC bolt-in units but our strut tops are giving up the ghost so will eventually need to repaired. I think I'd do weld-in plates if I were starting again.

    I would modify the GC bolt in plates by adding a steel sub plate, which bolts to the original main aluminum plate. I would install the assembly by welding it to the strut tower.

    I had 4 sets of plates cut out of 1/4in for a Mk1s, I only have mk4s,2s and 1s to look at here at the shop, they would fit a mk2...... BSI ones aint so good....depending on the BRAND of brg you want, dertermans the price of the things...

    The plates are the exact same shape as a MK1 strut tower top...Any one? I have a mkIII coming in friday...will look....Mine are cheep, built by racers/crazy people...

    Exactly what I had in my head but didn't sufficiently explain when I dashed off my last response.

    There's a reason this guy has one of the fasted ITB VWs in the nation.
