H&R Camber Plates

H&R camber plates replace your factory top mounts with adjustable ones, so you can dial in camber exactly where you want it. On a lowered car they correct the camber that dropping the ride height adds; on a track car they unlock the grip that comes from getting camber right.

Dial In Camber with H&R Adjustable Top Mounts

When you lower a car on a strut suspension, the geometry adds negative camber whether you want it or not. Left uncorrected, that can chew the inside edge of your tires and push the alignment outside factory spec. H&R camber plates replace the fixed factory top mount with an adjustable one, giving you the range to bring camber back to where it should be, or to set it exactly where you want it.

On a track car, that same adjustability is a performance tool. A measured amount of negative camber keeps the tire flatter to the road under hard cornering loads, which grows the contact patch and adds grip right when you're leaning on the car. Camber plates let you find and repeat that setting.

Correcting Camber on a Lowered Car

This is the most common reason drivers fit camber plates. Pair them with H&R lowering springs or coilovers and you can drop the car for looks and handling while still keeping a tire-friendly alignment. Without the adjustment, you're stuck with whatever camber the drop creates, and often with uneven tire wear to match.

What to Expect and Getting the Alignment Right

Some camber plates use a spherical bearing in place of the rubber factory mount for sharper, more precise response, which can transmit a little more noise and vibration, so check the design on the product page. Whatever you fit, a camber plate is an alignment component: book a professional alignment afterward and bring your target camber figure, whether that's a corrected street spec or a more aggressive track setting.

Camber plates work best alongside H&R coilovers or lowering springs. Not sure which setup fits your car and how you drive it? Call us at 903-993-0000 or email support@springrates.com and we'll point you in the right direction before you spend anything.

FAQs

What do H&R camber plates do?

H&R camber plates replace the factory top strut mount with an adjustable one, letting you set camber precisely. That's important on a lowered car, where dropping the ride height adds negative camber you often need to correct, and on a track car, where you want to add camber for more cornering grip.

Do I need camber plates after lowering my car?

Often, yes. Lowering a car with a strut suspension adds negative camber that can wear the inside edge of your tires and may sit outside factory alignment specs. Camber plates give you the adjustment range to bring camber back into spec, or to set it exactly where you want it.

Do H&R camber plates improve grip?

They let you optimize camber, which is what improves grip. A bit of negative camber keeps the tire flatter to the road during hard cornering, increasing the contact patch and grip mid-corner. Camber plates give you the control to find the right setting for your tires and driving.

Are H&R camber plates good for daily driving?

Yes, when set to a sensible street alignment. You can dial in a moderate camber figure that improves handling and corrects the camber added by lowering, without the accelerated tire wear that comes from an aggressive track setting. The adjustability is the whole benefit.

Will camber plates make my ride harsher or noisier?

Some camber plates use a spherical bearing in place of the rubber factory mount, which can transmit a little more noise and vibration in exchange for sharper, more precise response. Check the product details for the mount design so you know what to expect on your car.

Do I need an alignment after fitting camber plates?

Yes. Camber plates are an alignment component, so you'll want a professional alignment to set camber and confirm toe. Bring your target camber figure, whether that's a corrected street spec or a more aggressive track setting.
