A couple of questions I can't seem to find answers to:

1. How thick are the Dinan plates? (How much of a reduction in the drop)
2. How much do they weigh?

If anyone has installed them, please let me know. I called Dinan, but can't get a hold of anyone there, and my Dinan dealer has not seen any yet, so he doesn't know either.
I got a hold of a Dinan rep, so I'll answer my own question for others who might be interested:

The camber plates are forged aluminum and result in a 1/8" reduction in the drop. They weigh less than a pound. If you max out the stock negative camber setting and add the plates, you'll end up with 2.0-2.1 degrees.
