      Interesting..I've always thought it was a bit funny how the castor was changed when lowered drastically. I might go measure up and see if this will give me any less scrubbing! Then we can all group buy hahahah

        This is only useful if you're really slammed on 16's or smaller with low profile tyres. The change in how the wheels sit will only work for that - moderately low will see the wheels sitting a bit further back, closer to the rear bumper. They may have changed it with the revised Great Plates but I remember seeing a thread on Vortex about some people having problems on how they sit when only moderately low. Just keep in mind, moderately low to them is pretty much slammed to us!!!

            would this change alignment in anyway? enough to warrant a wheel alignment?

              The wheels at the rear can't be aligned Steve, so no these slip in as a ''spacer'' it seems.

              I had a feeling that 13mm was gonna be a shyte load...lol

                    The Great Plates slip into where the rear beam attaches to the chassis. I thought they went between the beam and the stub axle, effectively working as a wheel spacer/track widener too, but nope, a reply from a silly email from me corrected it.
