    Normal vs M3 front top mount

    What's the difference in handling between the normal front top mounts and the M3 front top mount????

    Anyone got photo of the M3 offset front top mount?

    are you talking about sway bar mounts?

    The front sway bar mounts on the M3 and ix effectively give the sway bar more leverage, so it acts like a larger bar.

      M3's did not come from the factory with the offset top mounts. They were more of a factory option to add or subtract camber.

        The 0.5 degree offset camber mounts were actually intended for use in accident repair.

            They are 'e28 crash mounts' and like someone said they are for accident repair or to give a little bit of camber. here's a picture of mine. they can also be used with fixed camber plates too.
