    i was pondering the other day could you use the adjustable camber plate on a festiva chassis? I don't know myself this weekend i'll go and pull VW stuff at a junkyard and try to mate it to a festiva.

        You can use anything on any car if it fits...

        The FMS camber plates won't work (strut rod diameter). Another solution I was thinking about would be to use a Rabbit adjustable camber plate, mounted on top of the strut tower. You either have to use a plate meant for top mounting, or you'd have to sandwich the camber plate on the top of the strut tower with two custom made "bolt plates" (I guess you could call them that) that go above the plate and under the strut tower to distribute the force over a larger area (since the bolts holding the camber plate would be in tension and if you only used the two M8 bolts, would snap and send strut mounts through your hood) and use probably 4x high grade M8 bolts to hold it all together.
