Default Scored Some Cusco Camber Plates-Questions

I picked up these plates today for $50. Couple questions:
  • The do not lower the car any more than hats, do they?
  • Are these any good?
  • Will I be happy with these on my Ohlins struts/RCE springs?
Thanks!

They will work just fine. They will actually raise the front of the car a little bit, which frankly is better from a performance standpoint than lowering it. Depending on how many miles are on them you may notice some noise from the pillowballs but other than that no worries. Not a bad pickup for $50.

Thanks Dan! I plan on a liberal extreme pressure greasing of the pillows. I am so sick of my present setup, a slight raise won't be a negative.

GF210s w/clunking stock struts on all four corners. 'nuf said. I'll say more. I am old (44) and my wife hates riding in the car. On top of everything else, Dallas roads suck and I have to have my fillings put back in my teeth once a week! I swear, a couple times I thought the strut tops were coming through the hood. The ride is too low-I scrape my lip getting out of my alley every day. Suspension geometry is off because it is too low. Want me to go on? This has been a VERY long and painful journey. I could not afford the Ohlins/RCE springs, but it seems like a bargain to get a killer suspension setup.
