Camber plates

[20ducks]

I need to have an alignment done on my 2020 GT Premium. I had lowering springs installed in the front (the rears would have been too low IMO) and so to have an alignment done I need to buy camber plates and have them installed. Springs feel great but definitely need the alignment. Looked on several supplier sites but have no idea what would be best. Keep in mind that I do not track, autox etc so this is for functionality. So which camber plates do you suggest?

None. If you're lowered a reasonable amount the front camber will be greater than stock, but perfectly fine to daily drive, and honestly the car will corner a little better with a bit more front camber than stock.

If you still think you need some, just about any of them are fine for a set-it-and-forget-it application. I run Steedas and they've been good.

I lowered my 16 PP GT 1 inch and was told by the company I got them from that you shouldn't need camber plates for 1 inch. My tires were coming to the end of their life and a couple months after installing the springs the insides of both fronts were showing cords.

I got the camber plates and installed them before getting new tires and an alignment. The tires are now wearing evenly. I wish I had got the plates at the same time, it was a pain pulling the strut off a 2nd time to install the camber plates.

Issue with front spring only is that now you have rates between front and rear severely mismatched.
What camber did you end up with after lowering ? If there is a whole lot of adjustment needed, maybe camber bolts would work ?

Otherwise you'd have to take struts apart again to install plates, basically same amount of work as swapping springs. Does not really matter which plates you get, I have Steeda's, they're fine.

You can also just get some $40 camber bolts for the front, and they will give you enough adjustment.

Camber has little impact on tire wear, toe do

I got a deal I couldn't refuse on a set of Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates. Got them installed last week and got the wheel alignment done today. Done.

Why so much negative rear camber and not front? I would’ve gone -1.5 all around for a street setup. Or -1.5-2.0 front and -1.5 rear.
Supposedly my -2.7 in the front isn’t even that bad on tire wear (mainly track).

Why the fairly substantial left/right difference in rear toe as well? I would get that evened out.
Agree with @TundraOnKings on the camber. If you want the car to turn in better, you should always have more front camber than rear.
