    In my suspension build, I used stock upper spring plates so I had to make the camber plates higher in order to replicate the height of the stock upper mounts.





    The red part is the adapter. I had to design a 20mm spacer to "lift" the camber plate to the correct position. So in my opionion, if you were to use stock upper mounts, you should be about 2cm higher than someone with camber plates (with the coilovers set at the same height). In other words, you will lose about 2cm of the maximum lowering that would theoretically be possible.
    Plus my camber plates have an extra plate for caster, that's another 7mm, IIRC. Either way, the camber plates should be about 1/3 the stack height of a stock upper mount, so just that will lower your car about 1.5in, the rest depends on spring length etc.

      I'am feeling these better then the JOM stuff

      Comment


        Joms are pretty nice. They remind me alot of the FK kit on my VW. The only thing that really got to me was the fact the rear does not go as low as the front. I think they should also have made the sleeves longer in the front to give people the option of swapping springs. The the fit was spot on and install is a breeze. These observations are what inspired me to make my own kits.

            Thanks for making these available. I added myself to the list for 450F/650R. One question: I have 1991 318is with Bilstein Sport shocks and Eibach ProKit springs. I like the stance of the car (not slammed) but I hate how soft it is. Hope these will stiffen the ride a lot while maintaining the same ride height with the Eibachs that I have now?

            Thanks

              They're coilovers so the ride height you're looking for is definitely in its range.

                  O these will be a ton stiffer then the prokits and be able to get lower if desired.

                  Eibach Pro-Kit 102F/277R 450f/650r will be a huge difference.

                                This is pretty darn cool. Have something similar coming soon that I purchased. I would have done this here otherwise. I like the spring lengths and then just removing the OEM spring perch(with 6" spring). Very nice!
