Which camber plates definitely work with Ohlins R&T?

I'm having difficulty determining which camber plates will definitely work with the F80 Ohlins R&T suspension. One user has said the TC Kline camber plates will work, but TC Kline themselves disagreed.

Please chime in if you've got R&T suspension with camber plates. I'm curious what you had to do to make them work and not rattle/clunk.

We do offer our adjustable camber/caster plates that are built specifically for the Ohlins R&T system. The R&T coilovers for the F8X M have different specs(spring inner diameter, strut shaft diameter, etc) than most aftermarket systems for this chassis, however we do have all of the correct information needed to build these. I'd say approximately 25% of our orders for the F8X M plates are for the R&T.

I've yet to ride/drive one of these cars with the R&T system; seems like a pretty popular choice for the F8X?

I had my adjustable camber plates custom made for the R&T, roundabout 350 EUR. It's another huge difference with a bit more negative camber. Nonetheless i'm selling my system in the next few weeks and will go with KW CS 3-way instead.

@GC: You'll love the riding especially when using proper (=softer) rear springs than the ultrastiff Öhlins original springs (230N/mm)...

I did opt for softer springs. Mine will be 286 lb/in front and 687 lb/in rear. I want to maintain the stock ride height, but go a little stiffer, and get a lot more damping.

TC Kline Racing just confirm that he has the special spool/spacer to make his plates work on the Ohlins R&T.

What spec should I use for gc camber kit for ohlins? Confused on the spring diameter size and no of bolt(1 or 3) for strut brace.

I am having a 3 bolt adaptive stock suspension currently.

I've got the Vorshlag camber plates with my Ohlins R&T, no clunks even with cold winter driving.
