Whats the point of having camber plates if you cant get in there and change the camber?

when I finished cutting everything I took one of the circular grinding bits for my dremel and cleaned up the cuts and smoothed it all out.
Then I masked it off and sprayed the cuts with some black engine enamel stuff to seal it up.

I like. I had plates a while back, sucks having to take strut out to adjust. sometimes you also can't get at the damper adjuster too well if you set negative camber and only have that little hole.

Man that would seem like such a pain to have to remove the strut in order to adjust the camber without doing this.

Looks like you did a pretty good job though, and I can imagine it looking pretty "OEMish" once you've sanded it down smooth and put some paint over the exposed metal. Good work!
