So.., is there a post about this by Vorshlag or Terry Fair? I see zero involvement mention in the 6th Gen by them.

I just saw the GC ones that just came out - not thrilled on the 10mm increase in ride height, but they look nice!

Not a post on here, but a few of us a friends with terry on FB and he mentioned it on there and their business page. When i spoke with Jason at the end of the year (vorshlag engineer) he said they are shooting for late feb launch if the test mule held up. Here is a photo of the camber plates.

Looks very promising! Has caster adjustment unlike GC (stated as “Camber/Caster”, but I see no adjustment for caster).

GC’s caster is the 4 alien bolts, where camber would be adjusted on the three main bolts and the whole assembly slides. Similar to the vorshlag. Vorshlags caster adjustment is just forward and aft. Not a total adjustment like GC.

I’m having a hard time seeing the caster adjustment.

Ref the picture above:
12-6’o clock looks like camber adjustment. If it is caster, the slot doesn’t line up straight in respect to bolt pattern of the tophat in the Camaro (see the Vorshlag picture; GC slide lines up with a stud, where Vorshlag is between). Are you saying caster and camber are adjust with the same slide action than? Maybe I need more coffee this AM...

Yep you are right, now that i look at it the anodized portion is not slotted for camber adjustment so maybe it is different than their other models i have had. Not sure where the caster adjustment is.

Update from Vorshlag, i called and talked to Jason this morning. they are still doing some testing as the shock shaft is not the same to FE2-FE3-FE4, and the FE4 mag ride is a little taller and thicker than the other two. I have one of my FE4's off the car so i am sending it to them for measurement and test fitting. They said everything should be on their site by middle of march. So, good news there.

+10mm ride height is going the wrong direction. They've made their product a non-starter.

Terry doesn’t really deviate from pricing. He said there’s not much markup and you can get them direct anyhow.

I know on 3rd(maybe 4th) gen F-bodys lots of people would ditch the spring isolator, and just run hose on the top coil. Is that a possibility on the 6th gen, so the GC camber plates wont lift the front?
