Camber aren't really needed unless you intend to do some road racing, requiring a good amount of adjustability in your caster and camber. I asked the same question, and that's the answer I got. If you are really just going to be street driving your car, GT500 mounts and camber bolts are really all you need.

I still don't how your brand new mounts went bad...

I have the Maximum Motorsports plates and they work great.

Well, I thought I would give a little update. I am almost embarrassed to say it. I checked every bolt to make sure they were tight and they were. The only one I could never get to on the car was the top nut that holds the strut mount on the strut. When I assembled them when I used a socket it would just turn the whole shaft so I had to get a box wrench on the big nut and a small socket on the top of the shaft to get it tight. SO yesterday I picked up one of those pass thru sockets from Lowes (had to get 22mm) so I could get it on the big nut but still be able to keep the shaft from turning.

Last night I dropped that on, held it with a wrench, put the small socket on the top of the shaft and got it to turn just a touch, maybe 1/8 of a turn at most. Well, on the way to work this morning the ride was silent, no sounds at all. So I guess that nut had come loose just enough to let things hop around.

Thanks for the knowledge and advice.

ah yes that bolt is a bitch. took me forever to get them off and then back on again since you can only turn it so much...
