Thanks in advance
If you want a non-raising camber plate, Velox will be your only other choice. HVT used to be an option, but AFAIK they are no longer in business, although you might be able to pick up a used set.

Two of them. #1 & #2. Though if you mentioned price, i guess that leaves just Velox's or if your coilovers comes with own.

I'm using the Hotchkis camber plates. Quality parts. They are working well.

I have the B16 coilovers, but if I'm not mistaken, they should work fine with the B14's as well

Just wanted to follow up the popping noise I was hearing. Turns out it happens when the front springs get caught on the locking collars, since the end of the spring is sharp on the inside. There are clear wear marks and when I spin the spring and hold the collar by hand when everything is apart, I an see grooves being made in the collar. Considering no one else I can find has had this issue, I must be the only one who has had the plastic casing of the spring wear off in the corner. While they haven't offered to replace anything, bilstein customer service has been excellent, and the suspension rides better than a friend's kW v3s. For a daily, these are excellent.

Hey guys sorry to bring back a dead thread but after doing my research I think I’m going to go with a set of b14’s. I just have a few questions before I buy them. In regards to alignment I bought a set of LCA’s for the rear and a set of camber bolts for the front. Is there anything else I need to support this suspension set? This is my daily driver and I plan to do my first track day in June. Also the set of wheels I’m picking up next week are 18x8.5 et 42. I don’t think I should have any figment issues but just confirming. Thanks guys!

Sounds like you got everything you need and shouldn't have any issues.

Get the most front camber you can, -2.5 ideally (or more, I'd shoot for -3 at least but it depends on the driving you do) but with one set of camber bolts you may not get more than -2 to -2.2.
