Suspension w/camber adjustment on a UCF20?

Hey whatsup people. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about suspension with camber adjustment for the 95 ls400's? Or if I just get megan lp's does anyone know how I can adjust the camber between stock and stanced?

For the LS platform the shock/spring/coil over does not affect camber, caster, toe. Adjustment is made via stock eccentric bolts for lower arms. Any adjustment beyond natural camber is made with aftermarket arms or modification.

If you looking for more camber in the rear you would need something like these along with trac and toe links

top hat camber plates up front won't adjust camber because the strut is mounted is to the lca, not the knuckle. if you're looking for increased front camber your options are camber adapters (offset rca) or adjustable fuca (nagisa is the only company that makes them right now, studio is planned but no eta). rear is covered, studio makes everything you need (adjustable rlca, toe, and traction arms).

So OG clean this up, If we rock camber plates up front what would it do? Help us clean wider rims? I mean like you said above, it wont help us camber more, so what will it do? Sorry still new at this ucf suspension game.

yeah, i think the issue here is terminology. this is a camber plate:

this is a camber adapter, or offset roll center adjuster as i prefer to call it:

camber plates are common on mcpherson suspensions where there is no upper control arm (y33, y34, f50, etc.). maybe some other suspension types as well, but as far as the vip game goes if you have a FUCA you won't have a camber plate.

what the camber adapter does is space the spindle out from the ball joint. the amount of camber added depends on the width of the adapter.
