I recently installed a new set of bilstein pss9's. the install went smooth however with the ride height where i want it i have to much camber in front and rear. I will have to get camber and caster plates. my question is that the adjusters at the top of the front struts are hitting the stock strut bar. if i put new camber and caster plates on will that fix that clearence problem or will i need to get a new strut bar and will it all match up.

 

you need to do more search on alignments...

 

I don't know how your adjusters are hitting the stock strut bar, mine clear easily.

Also you should have an alignment done, you can get a fantastic alignment even with the car lowered, you should not need any camber arms/plates at all unless you want MORE camber.

Back on the strut bar, can you take any pictures? As said i have at least 10mm between the top of the adjusters and the stock bar.

I'm thinking that you may have installed them incorrectly. Mine easily clear the strut bar and I have no issues with alignment. Did you set the height outside of the recommended range? You know even thought there is more thread on the strut, you are supposed to stay within the recommended manufacturer's range.

 

thanks guys i will recheck to see if i have them set corrrectly to the manufact. specs. Then get an alignment done. I will try to get pics today if i can of the adjusters.
