Why camber plates? Because they’re plates that allow for more camber. Why is more camber good? Well, it can help better align the tire’s entire tread with the road surface.

Just a bump on this since we'll have an update on them shortly.

TL;DR: no runs, no drips, no errors.

Good choice on Vorschlag. I had them for years and loved them. No popping either.

I had NVH issues with the Ground Control camber plates I had on my GTI. One thought I had is that maybe there was something on the strut tower that didn't let the camber plate sit perfectly flat. I never did dig that far into it. I put the stock strut mounts back on the car before I sold it and it was like drving a new car again. It almost convinced me to keep it. 

 

One of the reasons I picked a Cayman for my next car is that you can install adjustable lower control arms that allow you to add lots of camber (up to 2 degrees) but still have rubber bushings so they ride like stock.
