Camber questions
I recently purchased and installed a set of KMAC camber/caster plates. With the plates in the far back and in position, I can get 1 degree of negative camber on the passenger side, but only 1/2 a degree on the drivers side. What are the culprits for the differences in camber adjustment? Also, shouldn't I be able to get more adjustment out of these plates, or am I SOL until I go to a coil-over setup?

If your springs or top perch is hitting the body, you're SOL until you get smaller dia. springs. Maybe you can get more camber adj. if you don't put them all the way back(for max caster).

Does the lower ring with the studs still work with the coil-over spring hat?

No problem using the KMAC together with the ground control parts. There is no interference between the lower ring and the top spring hat. The hat is the same diameter as the OD of the 2.5 inch coils. I did use the thick stock spacer between the spring hat and the bearing of the camber plate. When I ordered from GC they wanted to know what strut insert so that they can match the hole size of the spring hat to the shock shaft.
