[s-cars] Eibach/Bilstein and Camber - What's *the* Solution?

[LL - NY]

I'm confused, what does Solid mean. It's three pieces. The mount to the
tower, the sliding plate and the actual strut mount. The plate can be moved
in two planes by rotation, so the sliders can be oriented to slide both
laterally,
longitudinally and in between. I've been considering doing the Igor mod to
them
to gain a bit more caster as other lister's have done. Just need time, lots
of it.
