do you want adjustable or fixed?

I think the IE fixed plates are quiet, but will raise the front a tad.

I have the new gen H-sport adjustables, and they are the most quiet adjustables I have ever had on any car, but it raised the front a smidge, but much less than the IE adjustables. I am getting coilovers to correct this issue, and to improve my handling

Yes and no; yes when it is first put under load, and no after 20 miles down the road. The bushing around the bearing race will compress and take a set after a short drive. After installing Ireland Engineering Fixed Camber Plates it’s a good idea to have the alignment performed at a later date.

So you reckon the H-sport are quite quiet? Can they compare to fixed plates?

My Helix Camber Plates do not raise the car and I've never heard a noise. Highly recommended!
