Last minute camber plate recommendations?

I'm planning to order the Ground Control kit soon, but now I'm getting cold feet. Are there any streetability/durability issues with the bearing?

Should I consider a less aggressive setup like SPC?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRONT-CAMBER-KIT-AUDI-TT-VOLKSWAGEN-GTI-GOLF-VW-99-00_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33581QQihZ015QQitemZ 250252776774QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRONT-CAMBER-KIT-AUDI-TT-VOLKSWAG

Id go with the Ground control's...I have had nothing but good luck with em

YMMV though due to mine being slightly more geared to the extreme end of modding

That Ebay set-up looks a lttle marginal...

I was the recipient of Steve's set.....

He sent me them with new bearings. I put them in and didn't have any issues in the year and a half that I had them. It does stiffen things up a bit in the front....I ran them with Koni shocks and Eibach springs and didn't find it too terribly harsh, but it wasn't a daily driver, either and we don't have too terrible of roads here.

Any specific questions regarding the GC plates?

I was the primary designer for them. Feel free to email me if the questions are lengthy.

Steve (ReflexGTI) was excellent at handling this BTW...>>>

Sphericals were replaced immediately. but I had already removed the plates an decided to go in another direction..

They must have been faulty as expected life would normally be much greater..
