I think there a little expensive for what they are. I want to get something with a sealed thrust race bearing like these http://www.datsport.com/Camber_plates_w ... rings.html
there $560 and have no caster adjustment, but you get more for your $ i think? There 110 bolt spacing, but Ill spin it 180 and re drill/tap to suit our 100mm. I also want to modify them like cheaters done with a series of holes so that it can be turned around for camber also.

OR you could just get cheater to make you some like in your post, im sure cheater can do a good deal.
We have the measurements, and improved them to allow more adjustment, :)

I got cheater ones in my galant, they work good, and give about 4.5 degrees camber on their full setting.

for some fun we adjusted the sigma F/E to see what we could get it was over 7 1/2 deg neg camber
that with adjustable lower control arm bushes and my top caps
mind you with the tyre we run now it only needs about 3.5 deg but I pull on more caster
