    Anybody running either of these? I've pretty much talked myself out of using the camber bolts to pull everything together, I'm just going to return them and pick up some plates.

    Cusco-cons, thin aluminum people think may bend, only camber adjustable
    Noltec-cons, some of the earlier models dont have any markings on them for adjustment-not really a con since I'm going to just set it and forget it.
    Noltec-pros, only adjustable up to an additional 1 deg of camber but also good for 5 degs of positive caster. Very easy to just set maxed out for good handling.

    I want a plate that I can align once and leave it aligned for a really sporty street ride that will also be fun for occasional autoxs or track days if I ever have money for them.

    Don't forget the Cusco, RCE as well.

    RCE seem to be the best but they are expensive.

    Why no camber bolts? Scott got me -2.7 degrees of camber with $7 ingalls camber bolts and stock camber bolts (order from summit.com)

    I have the Noltecs, they suck, I also have the cuscos...they are cheap....I have a set of PDEs about to go on the car, they are nice.....I would wait till you can afford the PDEs or pick up a set of the Racecomp Engineering

    What sucks about the Noltecs? I've been reading a bunch of positive reviews.

    There are a couple that are used selling for around 150; I dont have enough money for the RCEs or PDEs new, neither do I need anything that hardcore.

    RCEs are a waste of money IMO.

    I just don't like the way they adjust versus say the PDEs. The design works but you get more caster than you do camber, I'm not completely sold on the whole huge caster numbers like Will is. The last time we ran my car with big caster numbers I didn't care for the way it turned in at all. Ill be running different setting next weekend at Roebling so Ill find out if running lower caster numbers equals better turn in.
