I'm considering buying a set of Stillen camber plates, but have just one concern. I noticed that the adjustable plates are attached to the strut tower plate with 4 rather small hex bolts. Has anyone experienced any loosening or movement?
My worry is that when cornering hard, a lot of shear force is applied to those 4 little bolts, and that the camber will move.
Has this happened to anyone?

if you could do that i would be impressed. i have never heard of someone breaking those bolts those . those bolts just hold your alignment settings

Also, is there a noticable increase in suspension firmness from replacing the mushy rubber in the strut mount with the spherical bearing?

never heard of or had mine come loose before. As for the upper pillar ball mount, it does transmit a bit more road noise into the cabin, somewhat noticeable.

considering cattman's old setups only has two little screws and I have never heard of anyone having trouble with them, I think you're fine with four.
