Camber Plates

I know that some of you are using camber plates rather than arms to get more camber out of the car. For those who are using plates what is your opinion on them? Are they noisy for daily driving? Quality? etc

Thanks!

I have vorshlags, probably the first set on a g82, they use a steel bearing perch.

Its a bit harsher, but not too much IMO. There is zero rattle.

There are others like millway that use a plastic/nylon bearing perch like stock.

Had a set of Vorshlag plates on my M340i that I drove daily. As stated, the plates are not as subtle as stock strut mounts but again that's to be expected with no rubber bushings

For me, driving 100+ miles per day, I opted to remove and return to stock strut mounts as the NVH, even though it was very subtle, was more than I wanted to experience on the daily. Short trips or on the track, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute.

i am using the street version of the millways. one track day on them so far and i think they are doing pretty great. can't say much about them on the street as i don't drive the car much outside of track at this point lol. but honestly to me it does not feel much, if any, different from the stock setup. granted i only drove the stock setup to 1150mi, did break-in, then went to 1 track day and that is all the driving i've done really. another track day at the end of july. see how they hold up then

How much camber were you able to dial in with yours? Had mine installed today and the most I could get was 2.5 degrees up front. Stock suspension.
