I have the DSSV's and Vorshlags on my '14 1LE. At one time I had the first gen Moreno camber plates and they did raise the ride height. The Vorshlags do not raise the ride height. The Vorshlags are a high quality setup. I bought them second hand and they are still rock solid. No noise.

I went with -3.5 at one time with the combo of my Vorshlags and adjusting at the knuckle. I'm not sure if I could get more than -3.5. but, we shouldn't need any more than that. And that will vary depending on tire used among other factors. Also, as we dial in more front negative camber, the ride height will be reduced. It does not amount to much, but it does affect it. >Ride height being measured from the wheel's bottom lip up to the fender edge.

Without the camber plates I achieved -2.4 at the knuckle by elongating the upper hole of the bottom mount of the strut. Am I correct in understanding you did adjust at the knuckle?
Something I found in installing my Vorshlags is that I could not move them to their max camber setting because their upper spring seat would hit the inside of the strut tower. That most definitely limits available camber. I think the only way to get the max camber is if the Vorshlags are used with a coilover setup that utilizes a smaller od spring and seat. Next time you pull a front wheel off, take a flashlight and peak into the strut tower and look at your spring and seat to tower clearance.
Not being able to maximize that negative camber is my only complaint about the Vorshlags. And really it won't play a part if you only need about -3. Where it hurts is when/if you want to move the plates from a race camber to a street camber.
This year I needed move my race camber (-2.7) to a more friendly camber for a road trip to NC/TN from PA. I utilized the Vorshlags to reduce the camber by moving them outwards. I did not adjust at the knuckle, which is more involved. In moving the Vorshlags the camber spread/loss was only 1*, taking the camber to -1.7*. I would have much rather had my camber closer to -1 for the long trip. If upon initial setup during install, I could've setup the Vorshlags so they could move the entire way in, and fine tune at the knuckle, their spread from full race to full street would be greater than 1*.
