I had Vorshlags paired with complete OEM suspension. The plates were quiet. There was a bit of squeaking noise introduced next day after rain, but it went away on its own either same day or next.

As for your other question about strut clearance. Whether you will run -1* or -3* the spacing between the wheel and strut stay the same as you are moving the whole strut, and wheel.

I ran 255/40/17 tire on 17 x 8.5 wheel with et40. There was very little space left between tire and strut. Paintpro21 explained in another thread that this clearance is different for 18" wheel application as the wheel itself is narrower than the actual tire. FYI I was running SS.

Here is some best picture I found.
