Camber Plates

Does anyone make front camber plates for the G42?

I have installed the Vorshlag camber plates and worked out very well. The max neg. camber is approx. -3 degrees. If anyone does this it is highly advised to replace all suspension bolts removed since they are torque to yield bolts.

With these camber plates I can get about -2.5 to -3 degrees camber and I would set toe at 0 or just a bit positive toe for track set up. This is what I run on the track for street -.5 camber and 0 toe or a bit negative toe. These camber plates are very easy to adjust. For adjusting toe I use Longacres toe plates and adjust each tie rod equally. I have read other toe plates use very thin metal and bend easy so I stayed away from them.

Excellent! Thanks so much for sharing your specs. Nice recommendation on the toe plates as well.
