Vorshlag camber plate torque settings and strut compatibility
I noticed a lot of clunking sounds on the front of my car and I checked everything for it. I just found out that my camber plate hex bolts were a bit loose and the camber was self adjusting a little as I drove.
What are you supposed to torque the hex bolts up to? They seem to be getting loose for some reason. I just hand tightened them but obvious they need to be torqued to more than just 'tight'. At the moment the camber plate mount is on the very edge when I swear it was somewhere in the middle before. I can't find the torque specs anywhere. I am also in need of a strut refresh. Does anyone know what strut+spring combo would be best for the vorshlag OEM type? I do 10-20 track days/year so I need something with performance. Cant do coilovers or else I will need to go through some super strict inspections which costs $1000, and Im just not willing to go through that bs ![]() Thanks in advance, I'll send an email to Vorshlag come Monday and report back to you guys, but I want to just get some initial information from the more experienced members of the forum so I can do something about it as soon as possible. |

Just got an answer from Vorshlag:
The 4 cap screws for camber adjustment: 18ftlb The 3 or 5 perimeter nuts: 18ftlb The M22 Strut tower nute: 30ftlb Strut compatibility Works with Bilstein B16s directly. For other struts like Koni, etc, you need to buy some spacers/nuts which cost around $35. |

So curious how noisy your plates are now. Mine are quiet mostly, but there is dull clunking when going over rough bumps. At one point I had a loose strut nut, and the noise was sharper and quite loud. I certainly expect more NVH with the Vorshlags and poly bushings but curious what others experience is.
