I also have SPC rear arms that I bought at the same time as the Raceseng plates. Those appear to be a direct fit and are mostly just going to ensure I can equalize the rear camber at 1.5.

Although I am open to suggestions on alignment settings as well. I can tolerate a moderate level of tire wear on the street. So I was aiming for 2.5/1.5 camber and a touch of toe-in all around. I'm always heavy and late on the brakes...

I figured I need to stick with plates since I kept my Apex ARC8s and I remember the RS4s getting pretty close to the lower perch. No idea what the new setup looks like yet.
The Raceseng plates are/were great, but not a good fit on OEM dampers in my opinion since they ate up some travel.

An option that's getting more popular these days is the Pedders front mounts, which are a non-adjustable OEM type rubber mount that's offset for a little camber and caster. You won't get anywhere near what you'd get with a all-metal adjustable camber plate, but it's easy and reliable. Maybe -2 with the "OEM crash bolt" or thereabouts.
