Suggestion
Sorry, no direct experience on the 996, but if you're comfortable with a very slight increase in NVH, I don't think you'll regret upgrading, especially if it allows you to run more camber up front.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am replacing my shocks and my top mounts are toast. i am wondering what effect the stock rubber mounts VS the solid pillow ball camber plates make? Handling, road noise, general feeling? I will be going with beilstine HD and stock springs I track several time a year. I also do some long commutes (3-4 hours) once or twice a month. Car is a 1999 C4 with 130K miles

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any words of wisdom? The aftermarket Camber plates are the same prices as the OEM ruber mounts, someone must have installed them. Thanks

POST 3Original post

I've run camber plates with spherical on a number of my street cars. If you're experiencing uneven tire wear on your fronts, I'd suggest that you go for an aftermarket set, especially on the front. I'll likely go with sphericals, when I upgrade to coilovers on my 90% street 996. Sorry, no direct experience on the 996, but if you're comfortable with a very slight increase in NVH, I don't think you'll regret upgrading, especially if it allows you to run more camber up front.
