I went down the Vorshlag route and got about -2.5 on the front with stock strut assembly. One warning about Vorshlag camber plates is that the top strut nut was cut with worn-out/not centered tooling causing one side of the thread to be flat. That gave me alot of trouble until i realized what it is. Kinda unacceptable considering they are $150 more than what Verus charges...

Do you notice any added harshness or noise with the Vorshlag plates?

Nothing of that sort. My 200 wear tires added alot more road-noise, though.

That's good to know about the Vorshlag's being quiet.

Yeah, I hear ya on the tire road noise. I changed up to a set of used wheels and nearly new Advan Neova AD08R tires (275-fronts and 295-rears) and the road noise is pretty loud from 20-50 mph.

Reviving thread to ask a question. When I had an alignment for my 2022, it was more of something I asked for out of curiosity after getting new tires and I didn’t know that front camber wasn’t adjustable stock. I mostly forgot what the guys at the shop said verbally about their adjustment but my L/R front camber went from -1.73/-1.67 to -1.75/-1.71 on the spec sheet. Rear camber I guess was finely adjusted from L/R -1.75/-1.72 to -1.73/-1.73 which was intentional.

Being a suspension noob, can the front camber values change just with adjustment from other components after it’s ran on the hunter again? Car drives fine, I’m just interested in knowing

When adjusting Toe in front, it can impact camber and caster. They're all connected.

I see, they did adjust toe to be more neutral. Thank you!

Realistically I will run stock shocks/springs for 3-4 years.
The Verus only works with Oem shocks/ oem like “lowering “ springs but i saw there was a new set for sale in the forum marketplace and pulled the trigger.
Will report back what I get. As long as its -3.0 at stock height ill be happy.

How was the installation? Did you have to use the oem strut bearings or does the dust boot simply fit onto the plate? I’m thinking about getting the verus ones but was wondering if the oem strut bearings were needed when installing the camber plates

Just installed verus plates this week and had the pre-season alignment done. I set them for -2.6

Car handled great last season. Will report on difference. still have a punch list of preseason stuff to knock out

its a little time consuming if youre doing it alone but not hard. You are essentially swapping oem top hat for camber plate. Spring compressor is a must and probably the most annoying part

Awesome I appreciate it. So you didn’t reuse the oem strut bearing?

Has its own.

Has its own.

Are you able to add positive camber with the verus plates if so how much?

Stock springs/shocks.

Stock springs/shocks.

Not going to lie man, can barely read that, but Im going to assume that is a big No.
