Best camber plates for someone on a budget....

[Avus_325is]

I really need to find something that will preserve the tires a bit more now that I have a half hour one way commute and am driving 5 times the distance I use to a day. Just looking for a fixed plate design that will take out as much camber as possible. I suppose anything a 1/2* or more would be great.

Well, most aftermarket camber plates are made to increase negative camber, not positive. But I am sure you can add some positive with them. You might want to look into getting the BMW OE crash correction mounts. They are just like stock, but depending on how you install them you can get 1/2 degree positive or negative added.

Ireland Engineering sells something. www.bmw2002.com

I think their $150 plates will work for you.

BMW OEM crash mounts. You can flip them to gain postive camber.

Exactly how negative is your camber? Even with my car slammed this year, my Azenis wore from new to all the way bald completely even.

There's a guy in Roundel that sells some for like just over $100...just ordered some from him.

Stainless steel, and they're adjustable.

Forgot about those; $130 and they are adjustable.

I don't think you can get any positive camber with those, which is what this guy needs.

I'd still say that the crash mounts are his best bet.

Thanks guys. The camber isn't terrible but enough so that the wear isn't even. I figure I fix that I'll only be replacing 2 tires (rear) every 8 months.

my solution to your problem (i had the same problem) was, i bought the correction upper strut bearings to add 1/2 a degree of positive, and then i bought the IE street camber plates which can add a 1/2 or subtract 2.5, i added a half, so im now back to stock camber, and i also have the option of going to -3.5 for a track day. its a nice set up in my opinion

I can't dig up a part number on the ETK for the offset mount. However, shops like Bimmerworld carry them, and I'm sure if you walked up to the dealer and asked for "offset strut top, aka crash mounts", they'd know what you were asking for.

Yeah, I couldn't find it on the ETK. I'll most likely go to the dealer.

Approx. price?

Bimmerworld asks 89/piece for them. I'd give BMA or a place like that a call, see if they stock it as well.

[Avus_325is]

Yea, I checked out bimmerworld and was blown away by 89 a pop. I got a buddy down in rockville that works at a dealer, deffinately gonna have to give him a call, hopefully I could find something in the 100 range.

Yikes, at that price I'll just spend the extra few bucks and pick up some adjustable ones.

I installed the IE camber plates 2 weeks ago. No complaints except that they will raise the front suspension by about 1/4 inch. Right now I have the camber set to factory, but when I first installed them I set them to max neg camber (~1.25 I believe) and the turn in was frickin' amazin'. That is with eyball arms, H+R springs and bilsteins. I like them because you can use the stock mounts, but you have to knock out the studs on the mounts to get them to work with the plates.

die grinder and a pattern makes nice mounts too ;)

those holes are askin to be slotted

I have done alignments and that is bullsh*t I have seen some mechanics make some weird ass all over the place slots that go from J shaped the S shaped. when it comes to my car I will save and give some real adj. ones a shot.
