Adjustable Camber plates

[91_S2]

2Bennett in the states makes a beautiful adjustable camber/caster plate. It uses a monoball top mount.

It would seem to require the bearing plate from the 100/200. I might also require reworking the strut turret which is different in our cars as compared to 100/200.

Any ideas if this will work on an S2? Anyone seen a camber plate made expressly for the S2? This might be another job for Martinjs

H&R

There is a product solving the same problem although not as fancy . The link is to a swedish company but whats important is the product number, which I hope is a H&R-nr (HTC114). So just find your local H&R dealer to set you up with a kit

With this it is possible to get up to 3 degree negative camber, great for trackdays but perhaps not as good for everyday driving. Best part is the price which was 495:- Skr, about 35 quid I´d guess

I first planned to get it, but then decided to go for the more everday driving setup, although I´ll try to get as much negativ camber possible without it.

Thanks. The price is right, that's for sure

I know a man who has. If he can see one he should be able to make something but for £35 it's not worth it!

I'll be down in Wiltshire Flying in a micro light for the next couple of days. I am investigating having some ARB's made for the rear of the S2 a la Whiteline.

Wish me luck.

I don't want to see this chap just yet!

If I don't post by Friday have a for me!

David,

The comparison is with £280 = $495. The H&R works at the bottom of the strut and is not the same thing. If he could make something and the price was right, he could sell a few.

I would be interested in an even stiffer rear ARB. Keep us posted.

Good luck flying. I'll have a beer for you anyway

David,

The H&R works at the bottom of the strut and is not the same thing.

You mean that the top mounted one is more flexible allowing "on the run adjusting" or : scratch :?

Otherwise both pieces have the effect to adjust camber. Perhaps the more sofisticated one also can adjust the caster a bit? And more than -3 degrees camber that the H&R is capable of I cant see the use of. Recommended MAX value is -0.75 degrees (normal -0.45 +/-0.30).

But I definitely agree on that the more expensive one is a knocker for the eye AND probably allows for a simple way to adjust trackday setup and everyday setup. Hmmm I could be interested too

cheers

Yeah, you got it. They both adjust camber to -3 which is fine. In addition the 2B allows you to change caster which is nice to have. But the best thing is the top mount of the 2B is a monoball like in full race cars. The rubber top mount will deform slightly in a high-g turn so camber will change depending on the load. With the H&R you can set camber down at the bolt but the top mount will still deform so it is not that predictable.

I talked to 2B yesterday. They told me that with the S2, their camber/caster plate only works with their own coilover struts. I am not convinced. I think if you use 2 parts from the S4 strut, it might work. But I am not sure I want to spend $500 bucks to find out.
