    That was about a year ago and he rails corners every day and hasn't had a drama yet. more front end grip, reduced outside edge tyre wear. He got the K-mac street Adustables bit pricey but well worth it.

    No I thought about doing it myself ,but I dont want the dramas if the top shock bolt in the original plate starts spining with the nut and also I have no Idea where to set them initially so I can take it to get an aligment done,I paid $250 for them off ebay new never used

    I've has two sets of the KMAC ones. Was very disappointed. Both sets started to rattle on rough roads after not too many Kms. Went back to the standard factory plates and haven't had a problem since.

    I was dissapointed as well with both sets of KMac ones I've used. Bent them both doing track work, so went to Noltec.... although think Wilkinson have these now.
