What camber plates are those?
AMR engineering, I wouldnā€™t get them unless youā€™re running certain springs or thatā€™s what Iā€™ve been told.

I should pick up my car soon with the SPC rear camber arms and ball joints installed, sadly that shop couldnā€™t install the top camber plates because they donā€™t fit properly with my Swift lowering springs. Will give a feedback in a few hours or so with the HardRace ball joints, my other suspension parts I have installed prior is a Whiteline rear sway bar, Whiteline rear toe arms and Swift springs.

This is very informative ! thank you for sharing,

It is interesting to hear this because AMR markets these camber plates by stating "These are very popular with clients whom have purchased Swift lowering springs from us."

What was the reason for them not fitting? curious now. I actually have a pair ordered and i am running swift lowering springs

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and finding out how much camber you were able to achieve

The guy that did my alignment said he did -2.5 in the front and rear or something like that, wish I had asked for the specs sheet, also Iā€™m lowered on Swift springs and running aftermarket 19ā€ wheels with an +41 offset. My thoughts on the ball joints, after 2 hours of seat time, it does feel like steering is a whole lot better, more tighter and firm, kind of scared me because Iā€™m not used to it. The SPC rear camber arms just makes their job a whole lot easier to do a proper rear alignment.

This car imo is a bigger step up to when I just had lowering springs, rear sway bar and rear toe arms, wish the Swift springs fit with the top camber plates so they have even more adjustability with the camber/caster, but hey with these ball joints I canā€™t complain.

They had my front dampers and springs apart ready to put the top camber plates on, I had received a call with them telling me the Swift springs are too big and that you need a certain size, they called up AMR engineering and asked why they didnā€™t fit but I couldnā€™t make out what the guy at the shop was telling me what AMR said, on their website it says these top camber plates fit with Swift springs so idk what to tell you.....

it looks like those camber plates are made for swift springs but not the lowering springs they look like they are made for the standard sized coil over 2.5 in or 2.25 in springs

Nope, Iā€™ll take a picture one of these days to show where they positioned the bolt
Interesting. Heard some other reviews saying that it does affect the front height after installing the ball joints like how it does on a S2000, and DC2. Do you have any before and after photos of your front wheel gap? I'm on swift as well and am considering these ball joints but don't want the front of the car to be any lower than it is already.

Trust me man, it did not lower the front end at all, Iā€™ll take a picture of the oem ball joints if you want. Front wheel gap is the same height as my rear on Swift springs.
