Description
Transform your 6th Gen Camaro's handling and stance with the UMI 2255-1S Caster/Camber Plate and Viking Coilover Street Kit. Engineered for enthusiasts who demand sharp turn-in without punishing ride quality, this package integrates UMI's premium 2024 aluminum adjustable plates with Viking Berserker double adjustable front struts. The included 300 lb/in linear-rate springs deliver responsive body control for back roads and weekend track days, while UMI's 90090 take-up springs keep the main coils seated quietly during full suspension droop.
Designed specifically for 2016–2024 Chevrolet Camaro models, this direct bolt-on system provides massive adjustability. The Viking struts offer independent compression and rebound tuning, allowing you to easily soften the ride for your commute or stiffen it for autocross. UMI's caster/camber plates provide independent engine-bay alignment tuning, adding up to 1.25 degrees of camber and 1.75 degrees of caster. Track-tested at UMI Motorsports Park, this 100% Made in the USA kit is the ultimate dual-purpose handling upgrade. (Note: Magneride-equipped vehicles require a separate delete kit).
Product Features
- Complete front coilover and camber plate kit
- Viking Berserker double adjustable front struts
- 300 lb/in linear front springs
- 2024 aluminum caster/camber plates
- Independent engine bay alignment tuning
- UMI take-up springs eliminate droop noise

- Take-up spring kit: UMI 90090 auxiliary springs maintain main spring preload and reduce suspension clunking at full droop.
- 2024 aluminum construction: CNC-machined caster/camber plates offer maximum strength and durability with a hard-anodized finish.
- Ride height adjustable: Threaded shock bodies allow you to lower the center of gravity and dial in the perfect stance or corner balance.
- Heavy-duty spherical bearings: Interference press-fit bearings eliminate strut mount deflection for crisp, instant steering response.
- Direct bolt-on fitment: Installs into factory mounting locations without cutting or welding (Magneride cars require a delete module).
Product Outcomes
- Lowers ride height and center of gravity for a more aggressive stance.
- Improves steering response and front-end grip with optimized alignment ranges.
- Adapts quickly from comfortable street cruising to firm track damping.
- Eliminates suspension slop through spherical bearings and rigid plate designs.
Installation Summary
Overview & Difficulty: Moderate DIY install requiring standard and metric sockets, wrenches, an impact tool, and a brass hammer. Installation involves removing the factory front struts and replacing them with the pre-assembled Viking coilover and UMI plate units. Factory lower knuckle bolts are reused (spin nuts only, gently tap out splined bolts). Magneride vehicles require disconnecting factory electronics and installing a delete kit (not included). Torque lower knuckle bolts to 140 ft-lbs and perform a professional alignment afterward. Please note that front toe alignment will need to be reset any time Caster/Camber is changed.

Product FAQ
Quick answers
What vehicles does the UMI 2255-1S street kit fit?
The 2255-1S kit fits all 2016–2024 6th Gen Camaro models, providing a comprehensive front suspension upgrade.
Can I use this kit on a daily driven Camaro?
Yes. This Street kit is specifically tuned for dual-purpose use, featuring 300 lb/in springs and Viking Berserker valving for comfortable street manners.
Does this kit allow me to lower my ride height?
Yes. The included Viking coilovers allow you to adjust front ride height, lowering the car for a better stance and improved center of gravity.
What adjustments can I make to the damping?
The Viking Berserker struts offer independent compression and rebound adjustment, giving you wide-ranging control over ride quality and weight transfer.
How do the UMI caster/camber plates improve handling?
They allow both caster and camber adjustment directly from the engine bay, helping you dial in front grip while eliminating factory rubber deflection.
What do the take-up springs do?
The UMI 90090 take-up springs maintain main spring preload when the suspension unloads, preventing the springs from unseating and clunking at full droop.
Do I need to remove my wheels to adjust the alignment?
No. All caster and camber adjustments are made from the engine bay using hand tools, allowing for fast trackside tuning. However, front toe alignment will need to be reset any time Caster/Camber is changed.
Will this fit cars with factory Magneride?
The hard parts will bolt on perfectly, but replacing Magneride struts requires a separate Magneride delete kit to prevent dashboard error lights.
