Those with millway street plates, how are they so far? I find myself in need of more front camber but I don't want to compromise my ride comfort any more. Starting to toe the line on being too rough for a daily.

My only question would be is there a way to somehow affix some sort of sound ablation material to the strut tower covers to help cut the added noise a bit??

Why not take a thin sheet of dense rubber, and cut it to size to fit where the camber plate touches the car. should provide a little sound protection and not cause any issues

Some of us get M4 strut tower bolts to account for the ~5mm height of a strut tower bar. So those may be an option if you add this rubber gasket.

Be great if there was a way to make a cast of the assembly and build a mold from that. Just thinking how many ways that idea could go awry.

After doing my Millways, I am curious if there would be an issue if the alignment tech torqued the bolts to the wrong amount of torque and in the wrong order. I haven't noticed a problem but I'm pretty sure he just torqued the bolts to a value just short of welding the bolts in place and in any order he chose.

Is anyone using their Millways camber plates with KW StreetComfort Coilovers? I've heard that the KWs only work with the OE top hats. Reached out to Millway a couple of days ago but no answer yet.

It can be used with oe type springs (of wish the KW are), or 60 mm ID springs (aka afrermarket springs/coilovers).

If I end up going lowering springs with struts I promise not to throw off magnetic north. Really.

I am really quite impressed. For those considering the Street option over the standard monoballs, do not hesitate. Edit: I checked Millway's site today and it looks like all of their camber plates are getting updated to a new version at the end of August... kinda wished I waited to see what exactly was changed.

Got mine on as well and really can't tell the difference between the OE top hats in regards to NVH. Very pleased overall, but fomo is definitely setting in now seeing that updated version haha

What did you pair them with for suspension?

Anyone have their original top mounts they'd be willing to part with or take some measurements from? I'm a little concerned about where the strut shaft gets located relative to stock- it appears to take some travel out of the shaft which would be exacerbated on a lowered car but I want to be sure and I don't have my car apart yet. If it does end up being a thing, I'd like to get the new top mount I designed machined so I can install that instead of the original millway part since it moves the shaft up about 20mm relative to the original.

The rubber will eventually fail to return to its original thickness when you relieve pressure and the tension you put into the bolts when you torqued them will no longer be there. You would need to use patch bolts or loctite to prevent the bolts backing out, and even then the compression set would begin to allow relative movement of the strut plate to the chassis as time goes on and would likely make more noise than just bolting it solid. |

Don’t worry guys. I just hate when I buy something and then realized I bought an outdated version. So we shipped out the updated version long time before we announced it. (Around 20 June). So chances is you already have the updated version. So what are the changes? 1. Studs and nuts instead of bolt. 2. Added more preload to the pu-discs from 1mm to 1.5mm. 3. Centre washer got some minor dimension change. So how to check if you have the updated version? 1. You got studs and nuts in the box. 2. Center part is marked 27.8 Let me know if you have any questions. Best Regards |
