Ha, love that color. The XTA camber plates are really nice dude.
Ryan, I went and picked up the GC camber plates and the next question is how much camber are you running front/rear and why?

I'm not a fan of those due to the nylon nuts they use. Way too much heat in that area of track use for nylonI was going to go with IE camber plates and decided to go with super pro ball joints. Got up to -2.2 at full adjustment. Settled for -1.8. Got the adjustment I was looking for without killing ride quality.

Have you had experiences or seen them fail before?

seen them fail unfortunately
So, I was thinking about this earlier since I use the SuperPro ball joints on my car. I only autocross my CC, so heat isn't the same kind of problem for me as it is for you, but perhaps nylock nuts aren't needed. I know that the stock ball joints use pressed bolts and single use nuts. The SuperPro ball joints come with grade 12.9 bolts and nylock nuts (grade 10, I think). I think they went nylock because grade 12.9 is hard to keep locked, with 90% max torque being specified to ensure that the nut doesn't back off. Instead of going to 90%, the nylon does a good enough job at a temperature range that's fine for most people.
Since the SuperPro uses nuts and bolts, I think it might make more sense to source replacement bolts at the same grade as OEM. That way, OEM single use nuts can be used, heat isn't going to be a problem, and you'd still get camber adjustability.
Is there anything about this that sounds unsafe?
