Product: -2.0 fixed camber plates
Price @ Review: $150
Company: Road Race Technologies

I installed these this week, spent a few days driving on them, the response rate for turn in has increased, as one would expect when dialing in another 2 degrees of negative camber. No on track usage yet, due to it being January in Ohio.
Pros: More camber, pretty self explanatory. Camber is good if you want to make the inherently piggish e30 turn in quicker. Nothing to adjust or set seeing as they are fixed plates. Easy install consisting of dropping the struts, hammering out the old studs, and securing the new plates in. Cheapest 2 degree plates that I have found on the market.
Cons: More camber, on a street car, this will definetly increase tire wear. If the car sees a lot of street usage, one would do better to consider the -1.0 degree plates, or spend the additional money for adjustable units. These are fixed, so if you were looking to make fine adjustments, you're obviously out of luck. However, most people I know that run adjustable plates crank them to the maximum amount of negative camber possible, so this is almost a non-issue. These plates are also about a 1/4 inch high, so front ride height is raised accordingly. Perhaps an issue if you are attempting the "slammed to the floor" look.
Overall, does exactly what I expected, good product.
