camber/caster plates for GSI

[Slack11]

Is there a set of caster/camber plates that bolt directly to the holes for the GSI. I'd like to get a set, but don't want to have to modify my strut towers.

Any help is appreciated.

Help me do what im doing, take some measurements from cars that have decent aftermarket and see what fits,

I got a hot tip from Malachi that his may be from a neon, I looked some up and from a glance they may work

I'm surprised no one mentioned lengthening the top strut-to-kunckle bolt hole. I've seen it recommend a few times but I've been weary about how it would hold in place w/o sliding.

While that works, gaining caster will help handling more than static camber will.

I didn't think caster was adjustable.

I've got both holes elongated on he struts on my geo race car that I run on asphalt. I've never had a problem with them moving. I'd just like set of plates to make adjustments easier and more accurately at the track. I'll be able to contr adjustments much more easily and precisely with the plates than with the elongated holes

Well, if you build plates it is. There are two caster options on our cars. If you rotate the strut tops so that you use the hole closest to the windshield instead of the one furthest from the windshield you'll gain more caster.

Slack, try B13 Sentra's. They look pretty close, though I've never measured them.

Any idea what the stock caster settings are on a 90 gsi? I'm thinking about playing around with increased caster on my car at thetest sessions that they give us at the beginning of the year.

I have tried that on my '92 GSI and honestly found no noticable different feel in the handling. The base model has them one way from the factory and the GSI was the opposite (don't remember which is which and it is too damn cold to go outside and look).

Super duper. More caster = more camber when the wheel is turned. So whether you "felt" it or not your getting more grip.
