I have cusco camber plates on the front, and they work and no noise. Now for the rear you are going to have to order a linear spring with a perch. I have cusco camber plates for the rear too. They should work find. The only thing right now bugging me about my KW's. I have a weird sqeak in the rear right side, and all my bolts are tightend so it probly just one of the bump stops.

Well if you want camber plates go for it, but you DO NOT need them. They are made to fit your Stock Top hats. They come with good directions, they installed pretty easy.

Definitely get group-n strut top mounts for the front and rear...if you decide on front camber plates, than just get the rear group-n's.

I pm'd you, but for everyone else, If you use stock top hats; its going to be metal on metal for the top-hat to the perch. I am almost positive that is causing the noise. So for me to remedy that problem, I am going to get a hold of GTWorks and get some linear spings for the rear. I already have cusco rear camber plates. You could use some kind of rubber tape too. (tape the top hat bottom) That should make the noise go away. Like I said I am not 100% sure, but I have narrowed it down to that. I have taken the sway bar off, I even ran the stock strut on, and it went away so I know it has something to do with the KW coilover. Hope this helps.

I have cusco all around. In the back, it helps greatly to get an extra sping hat from KW like the front one (puple cone piece).

any camber plate designed for stock struts will work. (PDE ftw!)
