What are your thoughts on this? I like the camber plate alot! 0 to -3 degrees of adj. in front...32 way adj, and you can get it for $850..Also comes with 2 year warranty..

I doubt you're gonna get -3 degrees camber, while keeping toe in spec, out of that front coilover unless they tweaked the tie rod/steering mount.

They look a lot like the JIC's, don't they?

I don't know they almost look identical to Buddy Club..I have dc5 steering rack arms and tie rods..my toe goes out as I lower as opposed to in on say a stock ep3

Don't know much about JIC but I've had teins ss on all my cars before and they are solid, but what about the omni power setup? haven't heard good or bad things about them. and for $700 i am wondering? anybody had or tried these out before?

don't know about the omni's... but these megans look pretty good.. tie rod ends look to be fairly straight as well.. they have other good products so i would assume these are quality pieces.

Teins are really good. I just stick to big brand names. I've never really heard of megan or omni. and omnipower is just like hayames. as for JIC not making coilovers for our cars, I didn't know that. guess I learned to new.

I just want to make sure that you have personal experience with Teins on a DC5 or EP3. If you do, please tell us about the experience and which specific Teins you are recommending.

As far as Omnipower goes, you might have to wait a bit. The new design isn't released yet, as far as I know, so if that's what the user's after he shouldn't count on it until he talks to the suppliers.

Omnipower spent quite a bit of time on revising its Honda McPherson-type designs, but I haven't seen them released to suppliers yet.

I'm talking about tein flexes. the only thing is from time to time they makes a little sound. I don't personally have them but alot of guys I know from socalrsx runs them and like them alot.

My concern is with the long term reliablity of these..I called Megan direct and was told "No these are not rebuildable" Also why won't the DC5 app fit the EP3? Also most importantly for me what is the max neg camber these plates go is it really
-3?

get ones you can rebuild. so then when a shock goes out you can fix it and not be screwed 700 bucks. plus EP3 and DC5s are different. The bolt that holds the shocks are larger on a DC5.
