Default REAR CAMBER PLATES by Vorshlag are HERE!!!

We've been waiting a very long time for these, and I'm happy happy happy to announce they are here. I mean seriously, really happy.

So here's the details:
  • Compatible with 60 mm Coil-Over springs (perches for 2.5" coming soon).
  • Installs with basic hand tools, no chassis modifications required.
  • Plates are designed specifically for 02-07 Impreza
  • Camber is adjustable at the track from the trunk with simple hand tools.
  • The spherical bearing used in Vorshlag camber plates is the largest used in any Subaru camber plate. The result has much better durability and wear characteristics than the undersized bearings used in some competitors' plates.
  • Designed using alloy steel, not aluminum, for the minimum stack-up height and maximum suspension bump travel. More than an inch more strut travel than some of our competitors!
  • 100% CNC machined, alloy steel construction - Tough as a German Tank!
  • All components plated for maximum corrosion resistance and long life.

And a couple of other things:
  • Camber challenged Wagon guys with sedan coilovers - this is something you really want to think about.
  • Vorshlag also added a nice little bonus - a single row bearing for the upper perch to allow it to turn freely while compressing and decompressing.
  • Stack height is ONLY about 31mm. This beats the heck out of the stack height that uses the stock top hats and upper perch adapter as that comes in at over 60mm.

These bad boys are $380 shipped, and here's the pics.

Big ol' pile of camber!!!

By yanking out the back seat and contorting yourself in the oddest way possible.

I happen to have a set of sportlines right here. In this config they will not, BUT I can talk to Vorshlag about getting the bits to make it work.

Here's what works -

The lower spool and bearing work fine.
The plate works fine.

To get them to fit right here's what we need -

Upper perch for a 65mm or 2.5"spring
Upper insert that has a larger center bore and is a shade taller on the flange.

Since Vorshlag as 21 different combos of spools and perches for the various BMWs this should be little problem.

TiC, don't forget to mention that angling your struts inwards (which camber plates do) increases your roll center height, decreases roll center migration, alters your roll axis angle, decreases roll couple, quickens your camber curve, and decreases body roll. The inclusion of a bearing for the spring perch in the rear will also help keep your rear spring more linear, too.

These changes are small but definately exist.

Additionally, the potential exists to run longer springs and thus have much more suspension travel, fit much wider wheels and tires, and of course, have more negative camber in the rear.

These aren't just for camber.

These, along with the coilovers and all my other goodies, go on Friday. I'm going to bring one of my summer wheels (17 x 8.5, +51, running 255/40s) and see what kind of clearance I get.

Got my rear plates today. Beefy. The bearings are ginormous. They weigh a ton.

If you have the fronts, you know what I mean when I say these feel like they'll outlast the car. In the event of nuclear apocalypse, they can be removed and thrown to bring down prey (assuming you've got good aim). Barring that, they're going to give you control over rear camber for a long time.

How long? Well, they go on tomorrow. Mark your calendars and ask me when I'm fitty.
