Ont240 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 240Z with sectioned struts and coilovers. My own design top strut mount with fixed castor and camber. Looking to change to adjustable. My initial thought was Kmac units, but they like Silvermine and other solid pillow mount would be harder, maybe impossible to adjust without enlarging the stock hole to access. Not willing to cut! This leads me to lower control arms that one can adjust while being on the rack. This is a summer street driver with occassional track events. Cost in mind T3 fronts and rears seem like a good option. Silvermine has similar using steel threaded into aluminum, which I'm not a fan of . Open to opinions and first had experience.

JMortensen Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Check the biscuit style camber plates, second and third listings on this page: https://www.dpracing.co/datsun-z-front-suspension-1 Design Products has been making Z race parts for 3 decades, maybe 4, not sure. I never used these, but suspension guru John Coffey used them and always talked them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’ve used the biscuit-style camber plates by DP Racing and the bolt-in plates by Ground Control. Have nothing but good comments on both; and both companies offer excellent customer service/support. The DP plates offer the added benefit of allowing a slight increase in caster when used in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Definitely agree with using the biscuit style and then squeezing some caster out of it as well. You won't need much camber on the street, and that's where the caster really helps you out. Maybe a hassle to adjust, but you won't have to cut, so thats your only option unless you want to change your track width on those kinds of adjustments.

Ont240 Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Something is missing in this picture? bolts through to what? another plate? what prevents movement or locking? https://groundcontrolstore.com/collections/s30/products/no-cut-camber-caster-plate-z-car-pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Nothing missing. The slots fit under the stock strut tower. Loosen the bolts and you can slide the plate in or out to adjust camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) @Ont240, look at these pictures of the GC coilover kits...note that the mounting hardware is pictured in these photos. https://groundcontrolstore.com/collections/s30/products/1970-1978-datsun-240-260-280-z-complete-coilover-kit-with-no-cut-camber-plates Edited January 2, 2023 by jhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I ASSumed it would be a carriage bolt type of setup installed from below, with the stud sticking out of the top. Looks like a plate goes underneath. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
