yeah. the plates give you more adjustability, but if thats your only worry then the bolts will fix you up just fine. but i will agree with the statement that the plates will give you more of a range when aligning. however i just dont know about them. it kinda worries me that theres a whole new part being added instead of an existing one being replaced. idk... maybe thats just me...

the expensive part of getting the bolts is alignment. the bolts themselves are 30 bucks. 100 includes the alignment, as opposed to say 320+ if you go the plate route...

Before you try and make fun of someones knowledge and help please be correct. please take a look at the link below and explain to me how camber bolts or plates are going to increase thespacing between the caliper and wheel?
If you notice the wheel, rotor, caliper are all attached to the spindle. when installing camber bolts you are adjusting the spindle arm everything attached moves with it. with your thinking the top of the wheels are going to move out a degree or twoand the rotor and caliper are going to stay as there were? How's that possible?

^^ negative ghostrider.. lol

the wheels will clear the caliper better if the tilt is gone.. they are just leaning in too much and need to be balanced back out..

plus I heard that wheel spacers are bad for the car..

the 18" OEMs should fit the 6 no problem.. I just lowered mine 2" so I need to fix the camber..

I still got no links for products.. lol
