Cusco Camber Plates Front Low Caster Type

1983–1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin/Trueno

Part #: 116 410 A

Overview

If you're looking to enhance your Toyota Corolla AE86's handling capabilities, especially during spirited driving or track days, the Cusco Camber Plates Front Low Caster Type are an excellent upgrade. Designed specifically for the AE86 models from 1983 to 1987, these adjustable camber plates replace the factory rubber upper strut mounts with high-strength metal components, allowing you to fine-tune your front camber beyond the factory limits. This adjustment capability helps improve grip, steering response, and overall handling performance.

Whether you're a dedicated motorsport enthusiast, a street tuner, or someone seeking better control during aggressive cornering, these camber plates provide the flexibility needed to optimize your suspension geometry. By increasing negative camber, you'll achieve better tire contact with the road surface, resulting in improved cornering stability and reduced tire wear during aggressive driving conditions.

Key Features

Cusco's front low caster camber plates are engineered with precision to deliver both performance and durability. Here are some of the key features:

• High-Strength Metal Construction: Replaces the soft factory rubber mounts with robust, machined aluminum or steel components that withstand the rigors of aggressive driving and track use.
• Spherical (Pillow Ball) Bushings: Incorporates spherical bearings that eliminate deflection and provide precise steering feedback, enhancing handling responsiveness.
• Full Range of Camber Adjustment: Allows for extensive negative camber tuning, enabling you to dial in the optimal setup for your driving style and conditions.
• Low Caster Design: Specifically designed to reduce caster angle, which can improve turn-in response and steering feel, especially in tight cornering situations.
• Easy Installation: Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for factory mounts, requiring no major modifications or specialized tools.
• Durable Coatings: Features corrosion-resistant finishes to ensure longevity even in harsh environments.

Construction & Design

The Cusco camber plates are crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability and consistent performance. The main mounting plates are machined from billet aluminum or steel, providing a lightweight yet sturdy foundation. The spherical bushings are precision-engineered to minimize play and maximize steering precision. The low caster configuration is achieved through specific mounting geometry, which helps improve turn-in response and steering feedback. Overall, the design emphasizes strength, adjustability, and ease of installation, making it a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to push their vehicle's handling limits.

Performance & Handling

By installing these adjustable camber plates, you'll notice a significant improvement in your vehicle's handling characteristics. The ability to increase negative camber enhances tire grip during cornering, allowing for more aggressive driving without sacrificing tire life. The spherical bearings provide a more direct steering feel, reducing vague or delayed responses from the factory rubber mounts. Although these plates are primarily designed for performance tuning, they also contribute to better stability and control during high-speed maneuvers, making them ideal for track days, autocross, or spirited street driving.

Installation & Fitment

The Cusco Camber Plates Front Low Caster Type are designed as a straightforward bolt-on upgrade for the Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin and Trueno models from 1983 to 1987. Installation typically involves removing the factory upper strut mounts and replacing them with these adjustable plates. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required, and basic suspension tools are sufficient. For optimal results, alignment adjustments are recommended after installation to set the desired camber angle precisely.
