think it would depend on what you're going to do with your car...if you're like me and just drive it around every now and then for fun, probably not, but if you're going to take it to the tracks or something probably "need" it.

What suspension are you looking into? For the FC if you want camber adjustment up front due to Macpherson stut geometry you will need them along with the camber plates. In the rear it's not a necessity.

The pillowballs will allow for accurate feedback by having less/no play by removing existing rubber bushing and replacing it with a spherical bearing.

With the Racing Beat springs you won't require camber plates. It's a very conservative drop. I'd suggest going with KYB AGX and Racing Beat.

WE can possibly offer both to you.

Rishie,

In the past, it was mentioned that camber plates from companies like Cusco, are made of aluminum. And there are instances where they have bent (due to the softness of aluminum). Do you know of any companies that make them out of a stronger metal? Ask JIC to see what they have to say about this.

I know K2RD offered some out of some other metal...steel perhaps? I forgot exactly.

My main concern with AGX shocks is the "Limited" warranty versus Koni's & Tokico's LIFETIME warranty

Could you shed some light as to why KYB's warranty is only limited & what voids it? (I read that ground control coilovers void it...)

& what kind of pricing could we work out for the RB springs & AGX's?
