Camber plate question

Hi, I was looking to buy a set of camber plates but I read somewhere online that they only work with coilover sleeves or springs, I am running tokico blues and espelir springs. Can I use camber plates or should I just use camber bolts? Has anyone had any experience with the bolts? Thanks :)

Ain't no such thing as camber bolts for AE86's, they'd be for FWD's. I have camber plates on my non-coilover springs. There are some plates that are specific to the coilover top hats, but the ones I have work with the stock top hat, therefore whatever springs you can run on a stock strut casing will work.

You can use camber plates with standard diameter springs and spring top hats but you will not get full negative camber adjustment as the large size spring
will foul on the inside of the suspension turret before full adjustment is reached.

I can bottom mine out, I flipped the bottom plate around 180 so it wouldn't hit against the innermost mount stud though. Heck, I might could notch the lower plate for that stud and get even more cambah! With NRCA's, I could go for -5* lolzzz.
