Installed Vorshlag Camber plate photos

I can't really find any photos of people with installed Vorshlags on their R56. I was wondering if those that out there that have these camber plates might possibly have installed photos? thank you in advanced.

What kind of details are you looking for? My car is sitting in my garage hibernating so I might be a candidate.

Yep that is exactly what I was looking for. Also did you use spacers for your wheels and coils?

I use 12mm spacers for my stock 17's, to clear the shock body. Im using them on my hollies for winter too, but for mainly for looks.
No need for spacers for my Rotiforms.

I would suggest at least 10mm just to be safe. RYEPHILE is running the same wheel size on 215/45/17s with 10mm spacers and he barely clears it.

It will really depend on your choice of tire and how much you plan on lowering it.

I think I will also go with some 12mm. I am putting 205/45/r17 for the time being and I really do not plan on going super low. Most likely 1/2" between fender and tire.

Porthos,

I run 215/45/17 with my V3's and Vorshlag plates. I am pretty low and I only needed 5mm spacers. I have a larger wheel offset too, I think you should be fine with 205's

Too late just ordered them. I guess I will see if they fit. I might put them on for shiz and gigz.

Thanks for the pic as well, I was google'ing trying to find a installed picture as well.

How are you guys liking the Vorshlag plates? Any extra noise or deformation to the strut tower? Also does it look like you can use them on OEM struts and aftermarket coilovers or would you need a different camber plate?

Cheers

The Vorschlag plates can used for OEM struts and aftermarket coils without changing the plate. The only thing you change is the upper spring perch. http://www.waymotorworks.com/vorshla...5-r56-r57.html
You should see a few drop-down menus.

No noise or mushrooming issues, for me at least.
