About 3/8", IIRC.

BTW, since I have it apart, here are some pics of the spring perch showing the integrated torrington bearing. Note the black rubber seal on the brass part that seals the bearing into the top part of the perch and keeps it clean. Note also that there should actually be two washers, one for each side of the bearing. I discovered one was missing when I was preparing to put the car together, must have flown somewhere during the disassembly process last fall.

Ground Control took care of me and got me a replacement washer at no charge, and in only two business days.

It lowered roughly about 1/2 inch.

I've had the camber plates on the car for 2 months now, and so far no issues. I'm happy with the product and also with gound-control customer service.

Nice, thanks for the replies guys. Also, thank you @neurokinetik for the side note. I'm expecting my plates in a couple days.

@GC_Adam will these work with stock shocks and RCE Springs?

[SportInjected]

No, they are designed for 2.5" "coilover" springs. Look at HVT or raceseng for hats that will work with stock diameter springs.

next question since iv now opted out on getting springs now. @GC_Adam or anyone else that can answer this
the kit on the website they have has the koni shocks with eibach springs? whats the different spring rates they offer as it just says touring/race/aggressive and is it possible to opt for a different set though GC. havent heard anything good about eibach in awhile so im trying to stay away.
but if not, how do the koni/eibach combo compare to KW3s

bringing back an old thread here i know. does anyone know if these would work with a set of tein street basis coilovers?

He called back 2 days later and said the engineers had built different shock towers and they were on the way to me (at no cost). Installed them and was able to get 3.0+ negative no problem. The handling (autocross) on the car is now really good at 3.0.
GC's customer service with Adam is outstanding. He kept me posted on what was being done to fix the problem.

I highly recommend Adam and GC for your suspension upgrades on these cars.

@AX_FRS were you able to get -3.0 in the front? I got my GC full suspension in 2017, but max front camber is -2.5.
