GregTas Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi, I was after some camber plates to go on my front struts. I don't what to chop out the top of the strut towers. I have seen some posts suggesting EMI camber plates, but I can't find them. Are they still available? Are there other alternatives? I have adjustable lower arms and so I'm hoping that the limited movement in the top from not chopping out the strut tops will not be a problem.

Riceburner Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Stuart Wilkins Motorsport and K-mac are two that I know of. I ran a used set of the SWM urethane offset strut tops for many years without any issues with offset bump steer spacers. They have since debonded while the car was on stands for a long time, could've been due to age and I'm not sure how old they were when I bought them. I'd use them again.

GregTas Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks. The adjustable SW ones are $770 a pair which seems a a fair bit. No photos so I don't know if they would fit with out chopping. They fixed 1 degree tops may be a better way to go for me with the standard strut tower.. I could do most of the adjustment at the bottom. I'm hoping to get something as thin as possible so I don't waste the travel in the shock. I did contact SW last week about buying some threaded strut sleeves and shocks but haven't heard back yet. I might have to give him a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yep it was the cheaper fixed offset type, they looked like an original strut top, about -1deg IIRC. More recently I ended up running the offset to the rear for more caster and lap times didn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregTas Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 If they are as tall as the originals then not really what I'm looking for. Don't know if really matters, but I thought it would be nice to get something a little shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hi Greg, These guys have few options, I have never used them but would be my choice. https://technotoytuning.com Regards Blue Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregTas Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've had a look there. I think I might go with the techno tops, hats and the coil over kits.Postage for all that is only $120 USD which seems quite good. The coil over kits come with the front and rear springs and so I just need to work out my spring free lengths and I can place an order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agno Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 If I had the money to spend I would absolutely be using the K-Mac plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregTas Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 The K-Macs were too much for me. I ended up going with the TechnoToys plates and top hats. I also got a bushing kit. I ordered some threaded strut tubes SW Motorsport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Check out my facebook page for some installation on the TTT tops. The amount of metal you cut out is not for the faint hearted... Edited July 20, 2017 by d3c0y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregTas Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 No, no,no I'm not doing that! Who on earth would do such a nasty thing to their zed? I'm going with the boltins that require no chopping https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/240z/240z-260z-and-280z-solid-pillow-mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
