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

[Evan Levine]

The ECS plate "modification" is really not a big deal. When I installed them
a couple years ago I wasn't expecting it. The bolt came up and hit the lip.
I grabbed a pair of vice grips, latched on, bent it back a tiny bit and it
slipped right through perfectly.
 Don't let that be a reason not to go that route!
