My suspension setup: Breakfast Blend for the angry panda

[Loren]

I've not laid hands on an xA, but don't they have about the same hood/windshield/top shock mount geometry? Doesn't look like the upper strut mount clearance under the hood would be much different.

well, let's put it this way. i can remove my struts easily without taking off the wiper tray :) we have a 3-bolt upper mount as well, which aids in camber plate useability.

how would you get a camber plate to work on your single-bolt setup anyway? :curious:

Damned if I know! There are bolt holes they use for the strut tower brace that might be usable. Or do a completely custom weld-in camber plate, or drill some holes to bolt to.

Never really thought about it because it just doesn't seem feasible due to space constraints, and I don't feel that I need it, anyway.

you really don't. a slotte strut or camber bolt is just fine, but i like the idea of being able to run -3degrees up front on race day and dial it back for tire life wihout having to hit the alignment rack every time. can't really do that very well with camber bolts IMO

this is what i would do. i thought about trying the general application Ground Control mounts before, but i am with Loren, we don't really need travel and we can get camber below. It would be nice to have some caster, but we could also do that with an offset LCA bushing in the rear most portion like the subaru anti-lift kits.
