What's your experience with them on the street? Experience in general?

I have had mine for about 3 months now. Due (I'm told) to the lack of rubber, there is some noise that wasn't there with the oem plates, but I am getting used to it.

I just put a set onto GP1772 and it was an EZ install. I like the way they're made specifically for your particular strut set-up and that they can be converted if you change. The folks at Vorschlag were extremely helpful. I got 2 deg. neg. with the stock JCW springs. No change in ride ht.

Actually, I've been pm'ing Mark on the other board about them, just wanted to get a couple extra opinions before pulling the trigger.

I love my Vorschlag plates. Running them with KW V3s and get about -2.2 degrees of neg camber. Only way to get more negative camber is to notch out strut towers, but then don't think you'll be able to get more than 1/2-3/4 more neg camber. I find my setting is a very good street/track balance, with not an undue about of tire roll on the track, however I do flip the tires halfway through life to extend treadwear.

Also, the Vorschlags are very quiet. No noise ever for me.
