yes i believe they are the same ones. i should remember the rear plates since i only had them apart on the weekend to adjust the height of the car..

whats the proper offset on a protege5 to have flush rims? im in need of a new set of shoes for the car..

 

[nk2a]

they gave me a ton more than 1.5 degrees

how much more? did you test the adjustment without removing or loosening the lower mounts? reason i ask is, on the sedan at least, its a POA to change the rear camber settings on the top mounts while the strut is still up in the fender well. any change in the top bolt on the lower mount is going to have a huge effect on your camber setting. more than the camber plates would.

These only allow one way to adjust. It has two mounting points, one thats close to factory and one that allows around -1.5*

correct, these rear camber plates have two settings. when adjusted, the increased camber setting, pushes the strut as close to the inner fender as possible. you really couldn't get any more negative camber out of the top rear plates even if they had an additional setting.

Because for some people, the bolts will cause the wheel to hit the strut. The camber plates allow camber AND strut clearance.

So true! And thanks for the tip!!!

are you talking about camberr bolts? because no i do not have any camber bolts installed, i got rid of em when i installed the ksports. and i tried hard to be able to adjust the camber plates while theyare still in the mount. i had to completely remove the coilovers to adjust it, but in the end i got closer to 2-2.5*. i can post pics later if you want.

Whats up with everybody doing vinyl, just fix the fender and repaint it....

and fyi, my brother (justanothermp5) just got a new setup in. 17x9 +48 w/ 205/40 BFgoodrich KDW's
ill post some pics up tomorrow once he mounts them and does his alignment. Fitment is perfect

Fronts fit with .5* camber no spacers needed, and the rear needed a 8mm spacer, so +40 effectively in the rear....

 

[Protege03ak46]

Guess its time to get a new fender...

 

[ilovewheels]

i wanna wrap the whole car thats what ive been lookin into not just a fender and ya post up those pics what kinda wheels are they

What suspension are those looks like it fell off the struts lol

 

[Chefsp0t]

Pulled the front splitter off and re-mounted the front lip. It looks good but I might put the splitter back on after throwing some fresh paint on it.
