Already installed camber plates, but they have been very noisy and shouldn't be, so I am reinstalling. First time I did it, I also had the same problem with the compression, but I was doing it with the struts still installed in the car. To remedy that one, I just bolted the plates into the car, and then jacked the strut/spring assembly into the shock tower. But this required a lot of shoving and positioning of the strut to where I think it didn't seat properly and may have been a cause of the noise. The manuf. of the plates also sent a retrofit kit for me to try as well.
Oh, also couldn't take the struts out before because I didn't have a spreader for the steering knuckle, but I bought one to do the job right this time. Figured with the shocks out of the car I would be able to get it all compressed, but it just wasn't happening, even with two sets of spring compressors!
I found a guy a tire shop that said he would help me out, thanks though!
FYI, coilovers would be easy because the springs are a lot shorter, its the OEM springs that are a bitch.
