Suspension Most camber from Vorshlag?
Most camber from Vorshlag?
Realistically what is the most camber you can get with the Vorshlag plates without modifying the strut towers to access the lock down screws? Vorshlag says up to -3 deg but that looks problematic. Lets also assume realistic street type lowering, say not more than 1.5"
Think it's time to replace my bent up K-Mac race plates, though they have great adjustment range and lowered the car a little, maybe 3/8". Anybody still sell the Race K-Macs? Got mine straight from K-Mac in Aus in early 03, I think but someone in the U.S. might have them now.
Edit, 5/30. Anybody stocking these now. Want to buy them and Vorshalg seems to be out.

camber plate adjustment
I have them. I'm lowered about 1.5 inches, I think, on Bilstein PSS9 at max height of recommended range. Aligned at -2.5 camber with plates maxed out. Probably would get more if lowered the ride height more. They are fully adjustable, at max negative camber, with a ball end hex wrench. Make sure to install the 4 adjustment screws on the two most outboard holes. There is another thread on NAM with pictures and learned I needed to use the other adjustment holes. No cutting/car mods necessary...Although my installer did put a few nicks on the strut tower opening while tightening the top strut nut.
Not sure if this is relevant but we have our Vorshlag camber plates maxed out at about -3.2 on our R56. You will have to move the adjustment bolts to the other set of holes so that you can still get to them when you're running lots of camber.
K. thanks guys. Lots of experience with camber plates in general and have Vorshlags to replace the Cusco's for my Subaru, so I already knew about moving the screws to different holes.
Any more feedback ASAP, would be welcomed.
