There is no tender spring with the GC setup. However, you have a solid axle in the rear, so who needs it anyway. Unless you try to duplicate the old GTI commercial and jump yours around like a rally car, it really does not make a difference. As a matter of fact, the only thing holding my springs to the upper perch is a zip tie- been there for a couple years now...
As far as camber plates, I am looking for some as well. I think it is Eurosport that sells them for $100 a piece and I have seen them installed and they are very trick and clean. However, you lose the strut brace, which from what I have been told, is a waste anyway.

I want to install ground controls w/ konis. I've heard a few thing about this setup. Like there is no tender spring, so the springs bang around when you go 3 wheelin'. Also, has anyone considered camber plates? I like the spherical bearing on them. Can you still use a strut brace if you have camber plates? P.S. this would be for a projeckt/track car. It will be street driven, but not a dd.
