Pillowball mount options for the Gravana setup?
Monday, July 16, 2007 7:38 PM
After receiving an email today after placing an order for the Gravana camber plates months ago, I was informed that Gravana will not be proceeding with the pillowball mount setup and that my order had been cancelled. Although I am bummed about it to an extent, it makes me wonder if its possible to mate up camber plates from another setup. Any insight guys?

I went with McMoney's camber plates (shipped out today, thanks!) and I have Held making a set of solid rear strut mounts.Once I receive them, I'll post up some pictures for you to see.


As of now though, this is your only option unless you want to retro fit the pillow ball mounts from the Tein's.

McMoney is still making the plates? I got one of the first sets he made. Excellent plates.

I emailed McMoney last week about making some more and he replied that he sold the last set

I was told that I cannot get the Tein camber plates separate from their coilovers

MCMONEY!!! make me a set..

do they replace everything but the blac plastic/rubber portion of the strut mount? Im having trouble visualizing this, as the bolts for the rubber/plastic go into the frame. but it looks like mcmoneys piece has its own bolts that go into there.

i jsut want adjustable mounts, as i need to trim my camber due to my n body aluminum arm swap.

thanks!

I'd like a set of those, but how do you get them to work with smaller radius springs (like Zach's Ground Control coilovers) where the bearing is too wide?

There is no need for the OEM bearing on the factory springs. Just get a big washer to put between strut shaft and the plate and then the bearing/washer type thing supplied with the Ground Controls will sit on that washer.

* No need for the OEM bearing on 2.5" coilover's (or other small radius setups).

duh... oops.

these will work with the gravana's correct?

i guess with these its a solid front mount, and you loose the cushining effect of the other mounts, eh?
