Svenmate and I are interested to buy T3 camber tops from Spirited Drive, would anyone else in Adelaide like to buy some along with us so we can all get them a little cheaper.

Let us know via post or PM me:thumbup:

Get some with a proper shank nut in the top like tein or cusco :)

you will find it will probably be cheaper to cut out the middle man and buy direct from T3, it only takes about a week to get stuff from them anyway.

also +1 to what konakid said, cusco or tein is where its at. T3 cambertops are weak, their other products are meant to be pretty good though.

Just Cambertops? Or could we get some other stuff sent at the same time?

Not so much this.

If you do decide to fail, this is the probably the cheapest way to fail.

I was about to suggest that there are more than a few Adelaide based shops that can probably do a comparable price for a superior product.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not too many reviews on these products so its good to hear what people think of them.

$240 + $15 for postage is a pretty sweet price for new cambertops. But I guess you do get what you pay for.

the t3 are $200 from their site.

the postage would probably put them up to $220-230.

Thought i could just clear some stuff up

The T3 camber plates do not require the shank nut that cusco etc use.
the bearing fits perfectly over the top of the insert.

The bolts are grade 5 - and they also have a sprung washer under the bolt so they shouldnt need to be tigntened so hard that they snap.

you also need to remember that the plates are aluminum which is alot softer then steel - so going to town tightening bolts is going to strip a thread or snap a bolt.

They are well made - and if installed properly, no one should have any issues.

i do admit that they had some issues with their products a fair while ago, but they have come to the game and really upped the quality off all their components. all their bearings are made in the US, not in china or taiwan etc. and the workmanship is 1st class.

If you guys have any questions about any product just ask.
