Ignore this post and read the posts below from people smarter than me.

Original post:
None. Look at the size of the upper spring seat and then look at the size of any camber plate for coilover use. No worky.

Edit: Of course, I may be wrong. See below.

I've seen several people use tein's with AGX, so I'd have to assume the above poster is incorrect.
but feel free to check it out yourself...

I believe Ground Control carries some that work with AGX, I was looking at them a couple years back

i have agx, and i have cusco camber plates. so sxse240, your wrong, sorry to burst your bubble. you just need to use the spacer that comes supplied with the camber plates, also, with camber plates, the front of your car is going to be lower due to the fact that they are shorter than the stock upper strut mounts, and i believe that any camber plate would work. you just need the spacer, im not sure if all camber plates include this, but my cusco camber plates did,

there's no such thing as rear camber plates for our cars. you need adjustable control arms or camber bolts/bushings.

so the camber plates replace something on the shocks? i thought they sat between the shock mount and the shock tower. that's good to know, i'm fine with my car being a bit lower, just not a bit higher. forgive me if i don't know exactly how the shock is set up, i got my shocks and springs used so everything was already together.

the camber plates replace the upper strut mount, our cars dont use shocks in the front, they are struts, and yes they replace the part that bolts to the strut towers. the part that spins on the top of the strut,

Okay, looks like I may be wrong. I had considered doing the same thing when I got a set of 18x9s (-25) that wouldn't tuck under the front. I researched it and came up with the "no worky" answer.

If someone has this setup (normal diameter springs in front with camber plates), please post up. I'd like to see how to do this.

Tein camber plates will work with stock-type struts IIRC...

Buy 'em, use the included spacer, and voila! - Camber adjustment. It's a "remove and replace" deal...

people need to stop talking out of their asses and giving wrong information. anyway, cusco plates, tein, and t3 plates with regular spring/shock combos. there are probably more, but those are the ones that i've seen in action.

Ok. So I can't find any stores that list them? Is this one of those parts you'd have to call/e-mail and have ordered? Also, If you do, would you have to specify that you need the spacers or would they come with them?

if you bought them new they should come with them. used...
crap shoot bordering on no.
however, I remember that there were just a set of rsr Race springs with kyb agx and tein camber plates for sale so you might be able to find them in the for sale section. they sold, but I think there were pics.

Tru dat ...and btw...you can get aftermarket rear upper mounts but they aren't adjustable (because even if they were, they wouldn't do anything).

For sure, Cusco mounts work with AGX cuz I'm on them. JIC mounts are the only funky ones I've seen because they are supposedly made specifically for their struts.

no i dont have any pics, dont really have access to a camera either, but trust me it works, and the rear upper strut mounts only replace the stock rubber bushing with solid pillowballs, no adjustments in tha rear, for rear camber adjustment, ya gotta pick up adjustable rear upper control arms. and camber plates shouldnt be anything special order, but i dont know who carries them.

FYI, the T3 plates dont work with stock-type struts. A buddy of mine here tried them with his koni/whiteline setup and they did not come with a spacer to make them work. He has Teins now and is happy with them.

T3 would work IF they had a spacer though, unfortunately, they didnt make the spacers at the time. I havent checked back on them though, so they might have started making them now.
