Your thoughts on installing Ohlins / Vorschlag on my GP2

I have ohlins on my R58 JCW and love them. Vorshlag camber plates are my next step. I dont think you can go wrong with that combo. You can dial in the ohlins for street and track pretty easy, i had them set tight then dialed them out.

I own a GP2 and think that is way overkill for a street car and expensive. I've considered respringing my GP as the shocks are pretty good, but do need to warm up on cold days.
I have also had a guy recently get the Ohlins and he took them off a month later as the ride was too harsh. Which the stiff valving and higher springs rates contribute to.
I would actually go with our tried and true KW V2 TSW setup as it rides great, but still handles awesome. I'm running this on my daily driver JCW Clubman.

The Vorshlag camber plates can't be beat as they are the best no matter what setup you go with. I use these on the race car, and my clubman

Running Vorshlag and Ohlins on my daily along with 25mm RSB and adjustable lower trailing arms in the rear. Running -2 camber all around and it handles like a dream. Absolutely in love with how it handles now. Currently running 5 clicks from full stiff on the front and 6 clicks from full on the rear. Tried as far down as 7 clicks front and 8 rear for a nice soft ride that made the wife happy on a road trip. The springs on new Ohlins are now 7kg front and 6kg on the rear.

Dialed my out to soft side and that improved the ride quality drastically on the stock springs, I daily the car and its fine and smooth. Up to almost 100K miles on the R58JCW now. When at very full stiff its full on connected to the road and feels like its ready for a track day and kill the corners (and your tires).

I have this same set up. I love it. I track the car often and have had spherical bearing fail in one of the camber plates. Vorshlag is great though and will replace bearing for 70$, but have to take part the front suspension and realign. Getting a bit pricey.
What cambers are people running other than -2 all around? I currently have -2.5 front and -1.5 rear. Not sure what to think. Feels good but wondering if there is a better option
