Ive had an issue with one of the bushings of my front sway bar coming loose for a long time so that does not help. Having that looked at again soon by a new shop but the one I?ve gone to usually fixes it and a few weeks later it?s noisy again.

But I have noticed the noise I originally heard that seemed to come from the camber plates has mostly subsisted.

The downfall is that you guys were right there?s definitely a lot of noise coming from them but I don?t mind too much. But it definitely sounds like something is loose of my right at times, but I know that?s just the plates.

That being said they can take at least some abuse, took the car up and down the tail of the dragon a few times white aggressively and then all the way up the blue ridge parkway not being soft on them and they handled it all with zero problems.
Any issues with the dinan camber plates installation with your KW coilovers? Friend of mine has the KW V3 and the nut supplied in the dinan camber plate kit did not fit with the strut of the V3. I have the KW V2 coilovers and I am about to install the dinan camber plates. Kinda worried the nut might not fit with the strut.

Luckily for me, a shop was able to custom make the top nuts which was compatible with the KW V2/V3 and the Dinan camber plates. Otherwise, no other issues apart from mild increase in noises when going on rough roads.

So for those who are interested in the Dinan camber plates, you may need custom top nuts if your coilovers uses different size top nuts than the original strut.

I run the KW plates. No noise.
Do the KW plates allow for any caster adjustment?
