    Another Camber Question.

    So I just had my LowTec 60/50 kit installed with some Bilstien Sports, the car is awesome however I dont know if i can afford the camber plates yet to straighten them out for street and long trips. Im about to put 1000 miles on the car and am wondering if i should atleast adjust the toe at the alignment shop and weather or not i can install the camber plates later without throwing off the toe alignment.

    Pic for clicks.

        Does anyone know if camber plates after an alignment will throw my toe off?

          not in the front but in the rear you should do both the camber and toe kits

            adjusting your camber does change your toe yes. for some people thats ok because on the track its ok to run a little positve, but when you want to set a streetable camber setting you want your toe zero'ed out.

              +1 to this. Luckily on BMWs adjusting to max negative camber at the track will push your toe out slightly. So the easy solution is to run zero toe or a little toe in on the street, then when you go max negative at the track it toes out a tick, which helps turn-in.

              If its a dual purpose street/track or street/auto-x car, adjustable camber plates are a huge improvement in handling. Even spirited street driving can benefit from additional camber in the front of any mcstrut BMW.
