I do know proper corner balancing is the the way, but wanted to get at least a few events under my belt on these (or even a full season) to get a feel for them. I will have to get the rear realigned. I did a string alignment check yesterday and from the 5/8" lowering my 1/16 toe in is now 1/32 toe out. At least it's even side to side and not wildly out of spec. Thanks for the help. I will say these ride incredibly well on the street here with our garbage roads in Pittsburgh.

Final update. All issues appear fixed with the lower ride height. Everything was nice and smooth on course. Moral of the story: Read the directions and stick to the manufacturer's recommended initial setup parameters. If anything, I'll say they soak up the bumps in the back of this lot that other setups bounce a lot on.
Corner balancing will likely be in the future down the road to get the most out of them. Thanks for the help/recommendations.

Does my roadmap make sense?
Looking for input on my roadmap for my 2019 BRZ PP.
Current setup: tS conversion with STi pink springs on Bilstein B6, STi draw stiffener, and flexible strut V bars. Perrin front 22mm sway bar. Front camber bolts. 225/45R17 RE71RS on 17x8 Enkei TS10. Fujitsubo Axleback. G-Loc R6 pads. I have been competitive in my "stock" class at autocross, but now I am considering what I can do in the fully modded class as I am craving more tire and more camber. This is a daily driven car year-round (winter as well) so I don't want to lower it, and the Bilsteins are too busy on Toronto's horrible roads. So instead of going full coilovers, does this path make sense?: Replace the Bilstein B6 with adjustable Tein Endurapro Plus on the same STi pink springs. However add on Raceseng adjustable tophats for the front (ditching the camber bolts), and adjustable SPC LCA in the rear - both making room for 245/40R17 tires on 17x9 wheels. The Endurapros are loved by the Miata community - comfortable on the soft settings, and better body control on the stiff settings than their factory Bilsteins. And they are very affordable! |

Raceseng discontinued their camber plates from what I can tell, and when I emailed to get some support and order replacement parts I got no help. Damn shame they are the best camber plates I’ve ever worked with. You might be able to find a pair used or some old stock laying around but don’t trust whatever online stores say they have imho, if they don’t have a tracking number witha package on its way to your door within a week cancel the order and get your money back. Verus or vorshlag are probably your next best bet. Ground control maybe.
If you’re shooting for more then about 3 degrees of camber you will need to keep camber bolts in the equation, especially with oe sized springs as they will limit how far inboard you can bring the strut with the camber plate iirc. Otherwise seems like a nice setup, don’t throw the bilstein away and keep them as a backup imho, I’ve never heard of endurapros before. Seems reasonable otherwise. |

Would not use the Raceseng plates on OEM style struts. They're otherwise very good but also probably discontinued. You could talk to Verus and see what you need to run them on OEM style struts. Another option for camber in the front is the Cusco front lower control arm. Nice rubber bushings and they can add some camber (while adding track width). Not as much as you can with camber plates, but maybe add the Pedders offset OEM style mounts. That would ride better camber plates on crap Toronto roads. - Andrew |

I know of two sets of CasCam plates for sale, both used in good condition. Send me a private message if you want to talk.

Because the Endura pro+ are relatively new on the market, no one has tried them with the Verus plates yet. So not even the guys at Verus knows if their plates will have top nut compatibility issues with these like they do with the Koni Yellows. |

Thank you. Which plates work with stock suspension without affecting bump travel?
