Has anyone found rear camber plates yet for the car, still not wanting to just shove a couple of washers on the bottom 2 bolts. looking to get about -2 or -2.5 on the back so i can do -3.5 on the front

The only way is DIY that I know of, I did mine 2+ years ago, it was quite a bit of work but I found a bit easier way if you are willing to cut the axle flanges loose all around except in one corner, set them where you want and reweld them.

Good thing to not use washers as you would be putting a great deal of stress on the bolts and could have a catastrophic failure.

Camber plates would have to be two part due to the bolt issue and compensate for the ABS sensors as well, pretty tricky machining work involved.

My target was a setup I could run full time, street and track use though I do not put a lot of miles on the car. I wanted -2.5 front and -2.0 rear, I ended up with -1.9 rear, close enough.

The only easy solution and I forget the exact specs is the none ST rear axle as it has quite a bit more camber built in but more flexible so compensation might be needed for that.

I spent a great deal of time and energy on the rear camber then figured out an easier way, let me know if you are into cutting and welding the flanges as you can dial in as much as you want.

-------------

I also wanted to run 15x9 wheels, with -1.9 camber I had to really work on the fenders but no cutting and welding, paint, etc..225 rival S, 225 RA1 fit great, 225 Hoosiers were way to wide but might work with more camber.

-------------

Sounds like you know what you want in camber, my experience is less acceleration and braking grip if go to far on a FWD car though I have ran those numbers but not on the street. I used to not mind changing setups all the time but now I just want one good all around one:)
