Guys,

If your strut mounting plate (centre plate)in the Noltec strut tops are hitting the inside of the shock tower, you can modify them to get more camber.

Here is a quick how to.

1. Before touching the strut tops.... make a note of where you would like to stut to be located (maybe 5mm further in?)

2. Remove Strut top from the car/strut

3. Position the centre plate where you would like it to sit. Assume there was enough room in the shock tower.

4. On the side where the mounting plate excess comes out of the sandwich plates, scribe a mark around the sandwich plates. (this is the part that fouls on the inside of the shock tower)

5. Disassemble the strut tops so that you have just the strut mounting plate.

6. Cut the mounting plate on or near the scribe mark to remove the excess mounting plate. I suggest leaving a margin in case you wish to run less camber in the future.

7. Install the strut top (without the strut) to the shock tower to check for the necassary amount of adjustment.

8. Re-install strut to strut top.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Mark.
