All 2008+ Subaru Impreza owners that want more negative camber but need to keep the OEM spring and strut now have a better camber plate solution – Vorshlag’s Subaru GR Camber Plates with the custom OEM Spring Perch is now available!

We installed the first set here at Vorshlag, and performed detailed ride height and camber measurement before and after. The test car started with a maximum of -1.7° camber (using the stock eccentric at the strut mount) but ended up at a setting of -2.5° camber with our plates, with more negative camber travel available. There was also no change in ride height, which is what we were shooting for. Our 2011 STI tester did a track event right after the camber plate install and immediately noticed improved front grip and radically lowered front tire wear – and his lap times were quicker than ever before. You can see more about this new camber plate application here.

After being out of stock for a few months, during a slight re-design, the Vorshlag camber-caster plates for the EVO X are back in stock! The revised design has the same high positive caster potential that racers asked for, but the main plate is now red anodized aluminum instead of steel, for a lighter assembly and more attractive look. The EVO X camber plates can work with 2.25″, 60mm or 2.5″ ID springs for your coilover front suspension to give you ample negative camber travel as well as more positive caster adjustment (with 3 distinct caster settings).

You can read about the all new AST 4150 Damper in this forum announcement, which has the AST-USA press release, many pictures, added details, and first-hand reports from prototype testers. This shock has the best of both worlds – excellent street ride quality and race car handling, at the turn of a knob – and will be is a game changer once again in the shock industry. The AST 4100 was already the market leader in monotube, race-quality, single adjustable shocks, and the AST 4150 builds on that and adds the best parts from AST, Moton, and GRAND AM racing experience all in one, affordable and upgradable package.

Vorshlag has six different car fitments of 4150 dampers being built in Holland right now and we should start receiving them in January.

We have a press release for a brand new D-Force 18×10″ ET43 wheel made to fit the S197 Mustang and GR Subaru Impreza STI, in a 5 x 114.3 mm bolt circle.

This semi-forged 18×10″ wheel is 20 lbs, $309, available in flat black and silver, and made to bolt onto either end of these two chassis without spacers. The first production run of 100 wheels are being built exclusively for Vorshlag and we are pre-selling them on our website starting today (Mustang entry + Subaru entry).

Don’t wait – if you think you want a set, this first run of 100 of these new 18×10″ wheels (due in February) are the only ones on order for the next 90 days, so the next batch might not be here until summer. We’ve been pounding miles on the prototype set and they are working spectacularly!

These wheels have been torture tested by Vorshlag on the street, track and autocross course
