These simply allow greater camber than what is possible stock. You would essentially be setting your alignment everytime you make a change.

I thought the new ZL1 1LE comes with adjustable camber plates that can be switched easily between track and street settings without getting an alignment each time. Can anyone confirm this?

Every time you change camber on a macpherson strut suspension the toe will be affected.

Can you provide a source? I've never heard of anything like that but I guess it isn't outside the realm of possibility.

The only issue I see with that is that changing camber isn't necessarily as easy as "adding more camber." As another user pointed out, adjustments in camber affect toe settings which require further adjustment.

If you watch the video of the Internet journalist kid from the Daytona 500 debuting the 1LE it appears to show an adjustable camber plate and he mentions it too. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part but I'm curious. Here's the link to the video. Around the 5:50 minute mark he mentions it.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1kdxoSGGaR0

How Much?
How much negative camber can I get with these?
Will they stop me from cording the outside edge of my tires?

I just purchased a set of these to help with that exact issue of wear vs grip.

I got my package delivered prior to my departure for work Monday evening, now I just need to get them installed. They look marvelous!! Works of art and much nicer than the originals. I need to get the install instructions since they shipped without any.

Justin I tried to PM you back but this is what I got.

"Moreno Motorsports has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space."

Anyway this was my question, please PM me back.

Hi Justin,

Question, I read somewhere that adding camber plates would raise the front end up at least a 1/4". I do not know if this is correct and / or was only mentioned for the ZL1 magnetic ride. If you could tell me your thoughts and a price please.

Thanks,
Steve
