I recently purchased Mookeh camber plates from an eBay retailer. If you perform a search using "Eclipse+Camber+Plates" you should be able to find them.
Purchase:
The eBay transaction was pretty good. The plates arrived less than a week later via USPS and were well packaged. On initial inspection I didn't find anything wrong as I was half expecting. It came with two different sizes of threaded inserts for the spherical bearing. While I didn't need it even though I am running a Tein Basic full coilover, it is nice to know that if I had something different I would be covered. The set also included height shaft collars. The collars combined with the Tein spring hats were the correct length and lined up at the start of the thread at the top of the strut. There were no instructions included.
Installation:
First off they don't fit like they should. The spacing is for the outer most bolts is too narrow. I slotted the holes in the strut tower to make them fit. While this might have seemed unnecessary with a normal retailer as you should be able to get a correctly fitting set sent to you, this is an eBay purchase. I did not have a problem with slotting the mounting holes because I wanted to have some caster adjustment anyway. The rest of the installation was simple and straightforward; which is good considering there weren't any instructions provided. I torqued the threaded insert to 44ft/lbs as directed by Tein, if anyone buys the same set they should probably follow the torque spec of their strut's manufacturer.
Driving:
My OEM top mounts were probably as old as the car and in need of replacement so driving impressions won't be as objective as they could, but I love the feel. Turning was smooth, predictable and precise. The only thing I have noticed is the wheels do not return like they did before. This may be an alignment issue so I will be getting an aligment next week.
Good:
Camber plates for under $200. $179.99 + $19.99 shipping.
Neutral:
All parts and pieces with extras were there and made of decent materials, 8.8 allen screws. It did not include instructions.
Bad:
They do not fit and will require slotting the mounting holes in the strut tower.
