If you already knew all this then why are you on here asking? Until you have an actual idea of what it is you're actually trying to accomplish, just randomly posing the question is rather useless.

What is your overall goal here? How much material are you willing to remove? What is your current setup? Etc.

Yes, the Dinan plates "only" add ~-0.75* of camber (that's what they added on my setup, at least); but it's consistent, reversible, and nets more negative camber overall. Small price to pay for a proven solution.

Why am I asking? To learn from those who "KNOW". You clearly aren't one of those, so the useless portion of this thread is you replying when you have no first hand knowledge on the topic.

What am I trying to accomplish? What is my overall goal? If that isn't clear, there's nothing more I can say to help you understand.

How much material am I willing to cut? As much as it takes to gain that .7 that you wasted your money on.

My current setup? Irrelevant, I'm not telling.

To finish this off, how is this not reversible, consistent or gain less than your precious Dinan plates?

Doesn't Vorshlag sell their plates with the option for stock spring perches?

I believe they are discontinued. Superior to Ground Control. If available they should be considered.

Come on man. Grow up.

“I’m not telling”

You’re a joke

It’s not reversible bc you are removing metal from the car. I guess you could sand, weld and re-paint but do whatever you want and just go away.

Just don’t forget that he’s right and he came here to make sure we knew it!

Thank goodness he came by - we were doing it wrong this whole time.

You posted a question in your original topic asking people "what are your thoughts?" Without any further details. Then, your original post is just a link to a video. You asked what people think and some are gonna tell you it's stupid. It's immature to react the way you do when you don't agree with people's thoughts (which you did ask for).
