The camber, or negative camber varies for each car...
The standard top replacement piece is kinda like solid motor mounts in a street car..... a small improvement but hard to feel. A little more noise and a little less steetable.

Tony, that is some beautiful work...
but please people read your rule book before you go that far. Two of the sanctioning bodies I'm in would not permit the camber plates without stepping up to a full GT type class... and then your talking full fiberglass racecars...
The third vintage organization locally, would not permit them at all.......

So if you run a semi-street car, you may want to think about 1)not welding supports to the pickup points.
2)not modifying the pickup points.
