Drew,
I have a set of ground-control top-mount camber plates that seem to be rather problematic (noisy, lots of clunks). What are the differences between the Whiteline camber plates and the GCs? I like how the GC's handle the spring load so it doesn't get all placed on the spherical bearing. Too bad they seem to suck so bad...
Do the whitelines require any cutting of the strut towers to get full camber/caster adjustment?

Robert Fuller (RobiSpec) was in So. Fla over the weekend and I had him install the GTWorx springs (thanks again Matt) on the MR struts and do his Basic Setup plus install the Whiteline rollcenter kit.
What a difference! The handling is noticably better, less steering input to initiate a turn, it takes a set quicker and rotates now vice the feeling of dragging it's *** around a turn. The seat of the pants feel is that the back is alive and Robi explaind that the car will get sidways now if you want. He cautioned that if the car does start to spin, DO NOT counter steer as this will agravate it. He said just center the wheel and mat the pedal, the fronts will correct the spin and the car just goes where it's pointed.
At midnight I'm out tear assing around on a cloverleaf on the Fla turnpike laughing my head off, the difference is night and day.
Go to http://www.robispec.com/ and watch the 2 clips in the intro, you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about. IMO, it was money WELL spent!

The HD's will ride smoother then the KYB's.....but can support springs that are as stiff or stiffer. It's alllll in the valving. 
Fronts: Rubber noise isolators that are on the bottom perch, top hat assemb., dust boots, and bump stops.
Rear: Top hat assemb., dust boots, and bump stops.
On the KYB/Swifts with the bolt in the -1 position I was actually getting 1.7-1.8 negative camber. If I put the bolt in the other position then I am sure I could get over -2 camber. On the HDS it should be the same.
