Depends on your frame of reference and comparison point.

Raceseng with stock springs/shocks
Stock uppers with aftermarket springs/shocks
Raceseng with aftermarket springs/shocks
Stock uppers with aftermarket coilovers
Raceseng with aftermarket coilovers
Pillowball uppers with aftermarket coilovers
Aftermarket uppers with rubber mounts with aftermarket coilovers

"Similar to stock" is a hard reference to compare against if you don't have a reference point to compare with.

i thought it was redundant, but by stock I meant as in stock suspension, as in everything stock.

Does anyone know what the max negative camber is on stock suspension? I'm considering whether I should go back to OEM bolts or leave my camber bolt in when I install the plates. Thanks!

From what I've read, it's recommended to get most of your negative camber from the bolts, and dial in the rest using the plates.better SAI and lower roll center.

Leave the bolt in, it gives you a larger adjustment range.

If you haven't bought the plates yet, we have them in stock and ready to go

Do you have a measurement available for stack height? I would like to compare to stock coilovers and adjust strut height to compensate for difference so I can still hit the recommended ride height. Thanks!

There isn't a "measurement" for stack height because everything needs to be referenced from a common point on the chassis.

Makes sense - I was referring to the image you guys have on your product page. Looks like top of perch to top of plate.
