Or maybe take it to a shop( your mechanic ) that will align the front end to have the same angles on both sides . Question is , will you track the car or just use it for street ? Here are some specs for modified suspension http://specfocus.drivenasa.com/setups.htm . Also having only one plate , it could affect the height ( one side higher than other , resulting in different camber )

x2!! Camber plate on one side only = really not good.

FWIW - with my Eibach Pro-kit on the '07 wagon I had nothing but problems with the cheapo camber plates ... somehow they changed the angle at which the strut met the strut bearing, and within a few thou km the bearings had failed.

Ironically - after we took them out and re-did the alignment, it stayed just within factory specs without them - granted the Pro-kit is a drop of just 1.5".

If ever I need camber plates again, I'm going to bite the bullet and get the good and very expensive ones.
