camber plate size for coil overs

So the coil overs such as the ST/KW V3 etc that doesn't come with camber plates, expects you to purchase aftermarket plates or use the OEM top hats. In this case, does any OEM size camber plate fit the coil overs? What worried me a bit is looking at the Raceseng caster/camber plate, it has 2 different sizes for the KW V1/V3, and OEM coils. Meaning they vary in size.

I have the ST coil overs (which I heard is similar to KW V1), which camber plate size should I go for? OEM size or KW V1 size?

Currently looking at Beatrush camber plate/VooDoo13 Rear LCA combo. I contacted the vendors but with the holidays coming up, I probabily won't get an answer for a while, and I need these asap for track day!! I am assuming the beatrush camber plates are meant for the OEM size, since they do not specify any size.

I'm open to other camber plate options, and I liked the RCE plates that gives more stroke, but it states that it is not meant for street/public bumpy roads or else it may stress the parts. Only for track use recommended..

TLDR; Need camber plate for ST coil overs, not sure which size to purchase. Halp.

The camber plates have different "sizes" because they have the upper spring seat matched to the spring diameter. If you have ST coils, get the ones meant for KW V1/V3's.
