Tarett Camber Plates for a Street Car?

I was planning to just buy new rubber for my stock camber plates, but since those chunks of rubber somehow cost $250, I thinking of getting the Tarett plates. Seems like the ability to add a little more camber would make it worth it.

Anyone run these on a street car? How is the road noise, harshness?

A little bit about what I'm doing to my 84':

- Goal: Street car that can be tracked
- Low boost turbo setup with standalone ECU (~300hp crank)
- 21mm/27mm torsion bars, progressive Bilsteins
- Fresh rubber suspension bushings front and rear (not monoballs, etc.)
- Lowering to about 10mm under Euro ride height

I run them along with 21/27s. Bilstein B8s in the rear and Konis in the front. They're fine, but my car was already harsh and loud before they were installed. I don't notice any meaningful noise difference afterwards.

How bad are the roads around you and how comfortable do you want to keep your car?

I don't have the Tarrett camber plates, so take this as unsupported opinion. However, I've found across several cars that replacing rubber parts with "performance" parts that are not rubber does increase NVH. But it's subtle and cumulative.

If you change one thing, say the camber plates, you won't notice much difference in street driving, except over rough sections of road. You'll think, "Okay, that's a small change, I like he increased feel." Then you change something else, and then something else. If you make all the changes gradually, the overall NVH is increasing and the feel is getting sharper, but you don't notice it much, until you get in another car that has the OE rubber parts. Then you realize that your car is significantly harsher, noisier, and less comfortable.

If you already have solid parts in other parts of the suspension, then you might as well add the Tarret camber plates. If not, then not.

Wait until I get my 67 back and I'll let you know. It tracked just fine but a bunch of ER parts to replace front end bushings. Just across the river from you and it was dry yesterday so into the shop it is. Check the Early911 site, same user name. I chose not to go with the GT-3 front end.
