Vorshlagg plates (vs) ground control thoughts and question

Wondering if anyone had a chance to try same suspension with each of these regardless of what brand, Tarmac, KWs etc...?


From what I understand Vorshlaggs are fantastic quality and were designed to have minimum stack height. Also they incorporate a full extra degree of caster.
(honestly don't know why and how it affects things and what benefits it provides???)
Fully adjustable camber of course..

Ground control again have been noted by peeps here and around to be great quality with their selling point being that they add bump room / stroke...again full camber adjustment but minimal caster movement, only meant to match alignment #s..

If anyone has some in depth knowledge of either or both I'd love to understand these better and what's the better choice for a euro based design coil system like a Tarmac, KW....

Many thx!

Something else to mention that I'm not sure if even a concern is this....

Vorshlaggs mount in front same as our top hats and many others for camber plates. (Through the bottom) and the diameter and structure of the camber plate is retained by bolts and the surrounding material of camber plate.

Where as the Ground control are (all up top). From all I can see its your 3 position bolts that retain it there. Not saying that's bad, as well I simply "don't know"... being up top and having bearing etc obviously is what gains extra stroke for damper.

Maybe there is more to how they're held? Maybe it matters none?
