Stock Strut Mounts + Ohlins R&T

Hey guys, I just purchased a new set of Ohlins R&T, and am debating going with Vorshlag Camber Plates, or New Stock Top Hats.
Should I be okay with stock top hats on the street? I plan on going relatively low. (1.75 inches lower in the front).

The Ohlins are designed to work with stock top hats. Depending on the condition of yours you can probably re use them. For street tires the stock top hat will work perfect.

Situations with R compound tires or tracking would recommend a camber plate. I am running ground control on mine Ohlins.

Perfect, I’ll stick with stock top hats. I have about 70k on my top hats so I think it’s time to get new ones. Just for precaution.
