Well the rears are a progressive spring so wont work with camber plates without being adapted, I would suggest Group N upper mounts for the rear and something like Cusco or Whiteline for the front camber plates.

group N in the rear and the whiteline Max-C's in the front.


still don't understand the hype on this aggressive fitment deal. I keep seeing cars with ridiculous camber just to fit wheels that aren't meant to fit and don't truly fit. But I guess my focus is a bit different.

+1 on the vorschlags. Installed these on pignose's car and they are very solid. Cost $$$ though. I'd steer clear of the whiteline's as for some odd reason when you add more negative camber you get less caster. These were the race version too(black ones) Dunno what was up with that. Cheap plates are the Cuscos. Many people I know redrill them at a 30 degree angle to get camber and caster. What's your budget for plates?

I don't really have a budget, im just looking to dial in around -2.5 to -3 camber on the front and rear.

Right now im trying to find out more info on the Vorschlags because they make a rear camber plate with an optional spring perch made specifically for KW.

do camber plates lower the car even more? someone told me that they do. i am not on coilover, running swift springs with KYB adjustables.

They can if you get lowering camber plates. Racecompengineering makes lowering camber plates, and ground control makes top mount camber plates which will lower the car as well as give more bump travel.

well if money is no object get the vorschlags front and rear, as like you said they have a different spring top for the KW's, and the bearings on the vorschlags look like they'll last a looooong time

I actually read that some camber plates slightly raise the car. (5-7mm) I think i read it off PDE's website.

yeah.. only problem is.. i spoke over the phone with a "tech guy" from vorschlag and when i asked him if the rear camber plates were compatible w/ KW V3's he didn't sound like he knew what he was talking about and he just confused me even more.

talk to Turn In Concepts (or RacecompEngineering). They should definitely know. I don't see why you would have a compatibility issue as they replace the top spring perch. (I would think) you just have to order the correct sized spring perch. Although I'm looking at that diameter right now, and not sure if they make the size for the larger springs. I would think they do.
