What are these plates for?

Post by paul97 »

I was wondering if the plates on the shock towers are just a way to lower the car and have adjustable camber? Am I right or not?

Camber adjustment. I don't think the original rubber isolator is used with those which would also lower it if whatever replaces the original rubber isolator is thinner in height. Is this your 510 ?

That little black knob with the red locking ring, by the wiper motor, is used to control boost on a turbo motor, I have the exact same one in my car.
