Do you think those Tein camber plates are made from any special materials? Hardly. The only thing those do well is eat up shock travel with a stupid design - but hey, they're Teins, so they must be good right?
This thread is full of people talking out of their ass who have never even seen the product in question.

The tein camber plates, and all tein products, use NWB bearings. NWB is pretty much the top manufacturer of spherical bearings in the world. For sure 3-piece, and for sure either a teflon or PTFE liner. That is why I reccomend their camber plates, because I KNOW what bearings they come with and I have PERSONALLY punished the fuck out of their camber plates and have had absolutely NO problems. I had a set of their camber plated when I crashed in the canyons. The impact sheared the strut shaft off, broke my TEIN tension rod, and absolutely crushed my FLCA (not to mention bent the fuck outta the chasis). My buddy is STILL using the same camber plates the I bought like 3 years ago, and crashed with, and I am STILL using the rod end from my broken tension rod on my e-gay trac arms (that happen to look EXACTLY like the early SPL arms). I have battle tested their products, the bearings in particular, and the bearings are the last thing to go. The MOST important part of any suspension item (other than the shocks themselves) is the bearings used in them and a lot of people don't seem to understand that. The e-gay camber plates asked about in this thread will most likely not break and cause you to die, but they WILL require replacement MUCH sooner than the ones that I reccomend. Most people simply do not have the knowledge and resourcefulness to source bearings and figure out how to replace them so a worn out bearing generally means a whole new part. You will save money in the long run by buying a quality part the first time rather than buying something cheap that will have to be replaced every year or so.
