Anyone use ERPs rear spring plates?

Good deal.
One thing to note about the car since I put it back on the road w/ the ERP plates and the Powerflex bushes. I've done two autocross events over the past 2 weekends, both at the same lot, a higher grip concrete surface. When the car's rear end starts to slide, it sends noticeable resonance through the car.
I have a BK harness bar on the car w/ a Manfrotto Super Clamp and a quick release mount that I use for my GoPro. Well, that resonance causes the mount on the GoPro case to fall no matter how tight I tighten it down. Messes w/ the FOV on my on-board videos if I have a big slide during the run.
It doesn't do the resonance when sliding on slicker surfaces such as asphalt.

OK Vandit, here we go!
They said probably -3,2 as a max camber in the rear. So in other words, it should be enough for most of us. Remember that I have monoball top mounts so that probably helps a bit.

That sounds much better! Looks like I have some rework to do, flipping the plates again.
I had anticipated doing it by this weekend, but will likely wait a couple more weekends since i'll be busy and not racing the car.
I'll update the thread with my results once completed.
Thanks Thomas! I got lucky that you were in process w/ these and able to test/prove the solution for us.

I am using the ERP spring plates and yes I had to flip them bk n fourth to find the correct way to get what I needed. With that said I am running -3.1 in the rear now. Probably had room to go more but with the tires I am using that seems to be allowing correct tire temp across the tread surface. Also I am only running -2.5f so do not want a bigger split I may be going -2.8f after one more session of checking tire temps and shoulder wear. Rears are stellar now though. I agree ERP could communicate better proper installation I think they assume the wrench installing them should know?

I flipped the plates last weekend (slotted hole upward) and cranked the eccentrics for max camber. A visible increase in negative camber was the result. Like a finger gap between the rear tire (Cup 2, 9" +55) and the oil line. I took it in for an alignment this morning and the machine said the rears were at -3.0 and -2.8. I had that dialed back to -2.0 on both sides and it all worked out well.
