A lot of the links above are all from the same factory in the Far East.   Not saying there’s anything wrong but they all recommend spring rates that no decent suspension specialist would, along with ‘dampers’ to suit.

You mentioned Intrax, do they have the integrated Camber adjustment?  You have a link?

No they don’t.  Not sure when I’ve ever seen a proper setup with them though? I looked at about 6-9options, none had it.

Va motorsport do ball joint top mounts to suit though, that gives caster/camber as per their developed race-rally cars.

Would you mind being more specific? Looks like most suggest 4k front and 5K rear, which probably isn't what I'd choose, though I can't say that I know what rates are best for an S30. From what I've seen on HybridZ, rates between 200lb/in and 250lb/in are pretty common for a street car. 5k is about 280lb/in, which seems a bit stiff.

As above, va motorsport do a bolt in.

I just looked on their site, and I couldn't find their camber plates. I've seen a couple bolt in camber plate solutions, and they usually have drawbacks in lack of range of adjustment, and/or you have to unbolt the strut top to make adjustment.

I guess they don’t advertise all their settings?

im neural here, just I’ve never seen a proper setup with camber plates?

It’d be worth testing the generic setups above that are more or less the same except colour on a shock dyno just to see/show what they are.

kmac seem to make some proven bolt in multi adjustable bits if you’re desperate for all that adjustment.

Personally, it seems more are keen on chasing headline bhp figures without properly thinking about feel and car dynamics.
