Default GT4 Clubsport / MR camber plates (do they exist)

When it comes to the GT4 clubsport & MR edition, does anyone know if they do in fact have different camber plates (top mounts) for the front? I got a glimpse of a Clubsport MR and I noticed the shocks and their remote reservoir and dark colored top front shocks. That's when I wondered if they were different than the GT4 OEM version.

I thought they are supposed to be in spec form when racing, but I can definitely see the camber different between my car and the race car - my gut says its not all shims. Can anyone confirm how those cars are setup?

I expect CJ Ichiban, John at BGB, or DeMan would know. Hopefully they'll respond.

The clubsport has different camber plates than the street car. I have the clubsport front plates.

Thanks! I suspected as much. When I saw the MR and talked to the tech, they said they were hitting -3 or -4 camber. There's no way to hit that with only shims!

Was the club sport a direct install?

Yup, fits just like stock. I only have -2.8 camber, but I like not using more shims.

Is it stronger or just for more camber?

You get more camber from the top side. The stock camber plates are sufficiently strong.

The benefit is that you don't have to widen your track width as much to get the camber you need for heavy track use.

I purchase Tarett front camber plates and am running -3.6 front camber and can dial in another 1.5 degrees of camber if I wanted to.

The CS runs its own factory coilover and the MR goes one step further replacing that with a two-way KW set. Hence the different appearance altogether.

Thanks for the part number, I don't have all the technical files to find all the part numbers.

I don't know if this is news to anyone, but my local Porsche dealer parts guy told me last week that Porsche has released access to the full motorsport GT4 parts catalogue without needing to input VIN. So he can order all the OEM parts for anyone. I priced up the brakes and wheels which turned out to be too expensive for me. All the suspension parts are no problem; unfortunately I have already installed all the after market stuff.
