Vorshlag Camber Plate issues

I am trying to get the most possible camber out of the Vorshlag camber plates, however i am maxed out at -2.4 because any more than that the top hat will hit the frame and will not turn when i turn the steering wheel which will result in the spring spinning on the coilover. I am trying to achieve -2.9 to -3.0 up front (for racing).

Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance..

You will need to use an air hammer, or large hammer to flatten the ribbing in the wheel well up by the spring perch, that will allow you to run a bit more camber without making contact.

You need to go to smaller diameter springs, that will allow you to get more camber.
