Cusco Camber Plates w/ Tein Super street coilovers

[sgabe14]

Yea, so i bought the tein ss used, and they are great! Just they didnt come with camber plates when i bought them. So my old suspension setup on my s14 had cusco camber plates. I was just wondering if they would fit. Thanks
And yes I have searched the forums already.

Bump for help

They should work, so long as the upper bearing is the correct size for the damper strut. If not you should be able to buy a brass bushing for it to take up the slack.

I researched that your able to install the camber plates while the coilovers struts are already installed. Would this be harder to do? It sounds like it would but they guy who posted it said it was easy.

take the upper nut off the teins, and use the same nut with the cuscos. done.

Agreed, but I wouldn't use brass, that's way too soft for the load the coilover sees. I'd use steel.

they work fine together. that is the same setup I have no problems. Even the EDFC motors fit and work fine. if you use the EDFC make sure you use the new design motors as they are smaller.

Brass is just fine, countless track cars with brass bushings up top. Remember much of the clamping force/load is on the spherical itself, not reliant on the bushing so much in that regard. Not to say steel is bad though, as that would be 'perfect', but again, brass would work just fine in this circumstance. The key to keep it smaller in height 'barely' than the spherical itself.
