Does anyone make caster plates for our cars?

 

I know what a camber plate is, and I know what castor wheels are...

help me out, bruh. what's a caster plate?

 

err....can camber plates help with adjusting caster? Could I add camber plates to the top of the strut towers, then slide the struts to achieve desired caster? Would that work?

 

No. Camber and caster plates only work on cars with McPherson struts. The Prelude is a double wishbone / multilink setup (at least the 2Gen through 5Gens are).

Thanks man. Looks like I'll have to get the shorter radius rod from Honda after all.

why not just use a few washers if you want to change the caster?

The SH's radius rod isn't threaded at the subframe end:

maybe he wants an increase in caster. adding washers only decreases caster. to increase caster you'll have to either slot the bolt holes on the front subframe and adjust it, or cut the front radius rod bushings.

 

if you get the ingalls camber kits where it replaces the upper control arm bushings...
you can do weird things to the upper control arm position...like give it a ton of caster and such

 

Right now, it seems like my two options are between the shorter spec rod Honda sells to adjust caster and some kind of camber kit. Most of the camber kits just seem to be adjustable ball joints.

 

do they have any shorter radius rods for 4th gens? I've lost a lot of caster due to my new ES radius rod bushings.
