I spoke to Terry from Vorshlag Motorsports/AST USA in reference, to my interest in a set of camber plates that either incorporate added caster or have adjustable caster. As i just purchased a set of AST shocks for my S14 via one of their distributors (Performance Shock Inc.)

I wanted to know if the AST camber plates had any caster added in the design, Terry measured it & replied "no".

He mentioned that there were ideas of making a set of Vorshlag camber plates which would incorporate added caster in them, as they due on their other applications, but due, to not enough interest (????) they have no plans unless they have a minimum of 20 individuals who may be interested in the purchase of a set of front plates. If a possible group buy is done, he mentioned there is some added cost savings & they can be available in about 2 months.

The features that i think are superior, in their design philosophy is the use of a larger quality camber plate strut bearing for added safety & longevity, the use of their upper spring perch with the pressed in radial bearing for less coil binding, as well as the added, or even possible adjustability of caster in a manner that is more secure than i think the Noltec design, also the stack height is kept to a minimum.

I emphasize the issue of adding caster via the top in order to allow, for a more centerd wheel within the front fenders especially for guys who track S-chassis cars & are running lots of pos. caster via adjustable tension rods & have their cars dumped; unless you have tubbed inner fenders you run out of room quick.

I also know the other alternative, is to add caster on the shock towers by modifying them, or raise your car backup, but i think this can be an all in one alternative. I know that Noltec & Ground Control make these for the S13 & S14
but have their flaws in their designs... & could be better.

Heres some links for reference of their designs & possible ideas.
