Ok, thanks
The issue I've seen with GC plates is when people attempt to pull the F strut into the strut tower by torquing one screw. I've personally installed 4 sets of GC plates (fully torqued to 18 lbf-in) and I've had zero installation issues and zero noise issues. The only thing that creates noise, regardless of camber plate, is if the sway bar is not aligned properly on a lowered car and/or the OEM sway bar chassis mounting bushings are too tight (this is very common).
