I just don't like the loud banging that camber plates have and I never go beyond -1.5 camber.

Maybe the BC camber plates bang because they are garbage lol

I haven't heard too many complaints with Vorschlag. Plus you'll benefit from going to -2 in the front.

There is no movement in the Vorshlag camber plates when properly installed so there shouldn't be any noise. What you will get is more feed back from the road surface in a very positive way.

Agreed, mostly. Any valve noise that your coils might make will be more coupled to the chassis now. You should be ok with ohlins though!

I really like my vorshlags.

That really depends on how one intends to use it, don't you think?

For a slammerededed p0kEy queen, no...

I think Rob actually drives his car though.

Easily, they handle way better, they are much smoother....rebound is world's different and every time I hit a bump it doesn't feel so Damn sharp.

Yeah I have full ohlins suspension on my aprilia and man it made such a world of difference and the ride was very pillowy and supple yet give it a blap through the twisties and those dampers sure are firm!

I couldn't afford the ohlins R&T's, and a lot of guys state that the BC's are almost just as good (not that I believe them!) but when i get the $ i will buy the ohlins most likely

BC are not in the same league as the ohlins.

With the amount of money you spent on suspension upgrades you should be able to cut the wheel at 60mph and turn in that direction lmao
