Default FYI: alternate product for simple/quick adjustment of camber settings

For those who are unaware of this product, Progress Technology offers what it terms a Camber Adjusting Kit that uses a set of offset bolts that replace the original lower strut mounting hardware. Unlike ordinary camber "plates/bolts" of a fixed width, these bolts are easily adjustable by rotating a ring on the eccentric cam bolts in order to bring either a lowered or standard Mustang back to spec.

The product costs $46.95 (FAR less than a set of caster/camber plates) at Moss Mustang (part # 205-055).

For more information, see the following specific website location:

Interesting concept... A lot less than camber plates.

It turns out Eibach also makes a similar product for less ($26.00) that you can buy at Tirerack.com:

No - just trying to recover from spending a goodly part of late Saturday night/early yesterday morning in friends' bath tub on my knees, running the coldest possible water over my skull trying to cool it off/stop from head from exploding due to migraineous pain.

I hate to say I also suffer from migraines but I don't think they could compare with that.

I've been using them on my car. Got them for $20 on ebay.

I used the Eibach brand, got them from Ninosport. Couple of things:

1. You can only get a limited amount of adjustment out of them -- my camber is still negative but within tolerance

2. You can you use 2 on each side for additional adjustment (one pushes out, the other pulls in)

3. They can not be torqued as much as stock bolts and there are reports of them moving (I've had no issues)

That's why I spent the extra $$ and went with plates.

To be honest I'm not sure. I bought them in a package deal with the QA1 coil overs. Not sure if their from QA1 or not?

I assume it's a two piece setup? There must be something mounted under the strut tower too..

You didn't get enough from the upper strut monts to adjust the camber?
