Well I talked to dan again last weekend the camber is for sure coming but maybe not exactly when I need it. Nesai* He said that hes going to shoot for the 14th.
I think that the shims wont be much more then the gen 1 if at all 160$*. But dont quote me on that.

If you're friends with someone who has a die grinder you can elongate the upper bolt hole on the bottom strut mount and alter your camber that way. (It's cheating because a true camber adjustment would be achieved at the upper plate which keeps the lower control arm, strut, and tire vertically aligned for proper compression and contact patch into corners.) Camber bolts are just smaller diameter grade 10 bolts that do the same thing by creating a gap around the bolt shaft which allows for some movement of the upper bolt on the lower mount. Either method will work to give you some front camber adjustment.

well with some dan prototypes i have just finished installing camber on a gen 2 not my car the homie pasquales but it was a lot if playing around with washers on the brake caliper to get it at the right angle but hopefully dan can work on some straight bolt on soon for the caliper but its on and works legit will get some pictures soon with the wheels on 19x 10. GEN 2 NOW HAS CAMBER haha

I was waiting on the Camber Plates from Dan. We ran into a few problems because the plates were made for -5 camber but the plates were to thin at the top forcing the caliper and rotors to lock up because of the drastic angle the rotor sits at on conjunction with the floating caliper. We shimmed the caliper out a little to help them from touching but in doing so it changed the angle to something more along the lines of a -3 camber.
Popa If you dont like waiting around then feel free to vacate my thread. Or maybe you should throw some pictures of your car up to distract people long enough too give me a chance to finish my project Im sure nobody has seen your car yet.../ellipsis

Whateve... Im over it. Sure maybe your car is better then mine. Im not looking for fame I just want my car to fit my personality so maybe in your eyes you dont see something special and you're entitled to that opinion. Im not looking to start beef with anybody here.
The camber plates are still in the prototype phase. they werent quite right so we so we made them work for VIP this weekend. We still have some work to do atleast for -5 camber becuase of the fitment issues with the brake and rotor. I'll have some pictures of the car tomorrow hopefully.
Here is what Will (Cool Dude we met at VIP) took.
