Cool Sc400 Camber Kit

I have a 93 SC400 slammed on Megan Racing Coilovers. I bought the EZ Street series because they were 200$ cheaper. Mistake on my part seeing as how they don't have camber plates :/
Where is a good place to get camber plates? Going to get some spacers for an aggressive look. Camber is a must. Let me know what you guys find!
Thanks!!

Good day
I don't think camber plates are going to work due to the suspension system of the SC
The upper control arm, the triangle looking control arm is the one who controls the camber on the front and it has nothing to do with the camber plate.
Same the rear, the rear control arms control the camber and not the coilovers

Thanks for the advice! What if I got the Megan Racing rear toe adjustable control arms? Would that do anything? Or would it just be a looks thing?

Unless you get an aftermarket controll arms or some kind of a control arm bushing with extended offset hole bushing in there I doubt you can correct it.
Whats your goal? Can you like post a picture of a car you would like your car to look like? ( it will get us a better idea what looks you're goin for)
Do you want it to look like slammed ( like you got it) VIP style with a small poke?
Or you're trying to make it drive good and sweet and fast if you want around the corners?

I can't tell if you are wanting to add camber or take out camber, to the op.

The megan racing rear toe arm corrects Toe. It won't help with wanting to add more camber.

The easiest way to add more negative camber is to lower your car more, then get the car aligned and you can max out the stock adjuster, and then if it still isn't enough get some ikeya formula upper and lower control arms.
