Camber plates

[mitmaks]

Are there camber plates available for our mx-3s?

cusco made some that corksport used to sell, i'm not sure where to get them now

get some k-sports they have plates. You could also always use camber bolts. same thing

I like the Cuscos well enough, definitely beats turning the strut mount to adjust camber...

k-sport advanced adapter plates(caster/camber adjustment) for a 99-03 protege... They fit... Thats what I am running in my 323 which is the same as the mx3....

Those look 10000x better then the stock ksport ones and wow they have alot of adjustibility. Did they come with your coilovers?? the stock plates look like this

I had my coil overs special ordered with them, rather then the stock camber plates... K-sport doesn't list anything with camber/caster adjustment for an mx3/BG protege/323 chassis..

The ones in my car are listed for a 99-03 protege...

Do your K-sports have adjustments at the knuckle?? If you can adjust camber at the knuckle then I suggest you turn your upper plates 90 deg so that they are adjusting caster and then get the desired camber you want down at the knuckle...

On my car I run 3 deg camber up front.. I am getting 5 deg caster.. This is using custom lower control arm bearings (yes bearings not bushings).. The rear bearings are offset adding caster as well.. plus I have Rx7 ball joints...

You should be able to get close to this alignment set up... It really helped my car with turn in...

no they dont have anything at the knuckle. sounds like very good ideas! I just read your thread on RX7 ball joints

Are you sure the upper hole isn't oval so that you can make adjustments?? If not I would try camber bolts first to see if you can get the amount of camber you want...This will save you some money and work just as well...

One downside to camber plates ... the added road noise its horrible but I dont care that much but I hear enough about it from the passenger seat -_-

I have Cusco plates on both cars and they are great. the AST coilovers have the top hole on the lower mounting points notched out its like an additional 3% of adjustment. I put in the top edge just for shits and giggles and i looked hella flush, should have taken a pic :/ oh well

If I was looking for ride and comfort I would go with MS strut mounts and lower camber bolts.

Yeah, the noise was noticeably greater with the install for me too... Still, when I installed mine I had tons of issues with the suspension, clunking and what not. Now that it's all resolved, it sounds and feels so good in comparison I forget how soft stock used to feel.
