I'm surprised you are not running Ground Control camber plates. 2.5 degrees camber available from those, plus another degree from the SuperPro BJs. The camber plates are so much more than just camber though. Spherical bearings supporting the damper rods makes a huge difference to damper response and cornering control, especially if there are bumps mid corner.
I have a set of them waiting go on, but they are 15mm shallower than the OEM top mounts, so I need an 200mm long front spring to maintain the same ride height. I don't want to use a helper spring setup, I hate them!!
I also raised my ride height to approx 10mm lower than stock. I wasn't getting arch rubbing, but I just like to keep the stock roll center and suspension travel, ground clearance etc It feels a lot better raised up. More responsive to turn in and less 'jiggly' over bumps.
I like the rear drop links Sealed ball joints instead of Spherical bearings. You don't want spherical bearings on exposed suspension parts, they just don't last!
I thought about those before but I'm afraid of losing my current ride comfort and NVH level. I think we share a similar taste in ride comfort, so I'll wait for your feedback when you get the top mounts fitted. If you approve them, I'll go with the same setup.
I just want to get the ride of my car setup a bit better than stock and able to go to a track without having any issue. I'm also worried about high speed stability when increasing the negative camber too much. I have no experience with driving something with -2º or -2.5º of front camber.
I bought mine from Fab5freddy on here. He said there was no NVH, or very little, and if you research them on the internet, a lot of people say the same
They use a BMW M3 bearing for the steering, and a spherical bearing to support the piston rod. The BMW bearing (like the OEM VW bearing) has a plastic housing, so that filters out most of the noise.
I bought stiffer Eibach springs for my Ohlins (80n/mm front, 75n/mm rear) and was going to fit the Ground Controls at the same time, but I realised I needed 200mm front springs. Ohlins use 180mm. It's that or using a helper spring setup, which I really do not like, so longer springs it is! I will let you know when they are fitted
But for now the stiffer springs and raised ride height have improved cornering flatness with no loss of ride quality. I don't want to fit bigger ARBs. Stiffer springs work just as well
Yeah you will lose a bit of straight line stability with too much camber, and moving the hub in our out with camber usually requires the toe to be realigned as well, so it can be a pain!
