i would say
yes the camber plate will bolt onto the shock
but depending on the design of the spring hat you may need a spacer turned up, if you see the pictures here http://www.nzdatsun.com/forums/viewtopi ... &start=230" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and look at the section view of a camber plate & spring you will see what I mean.
So yes it will work
but you may need an extra part or you may not
A camber plate isn't very tall vs a normal strut top which sits down into the spring hat quite a lot.
The Answer to your Question is NEEDS MORE VG30
Re: 180B Offset Strut Tops
You will need a sleeve nut and bearing for the plate to rotate on, since you are removing the original top hat that the strut rotated on.
I use a extra big bearing which also acts as my spacer
