Fixing front camber (e36 m3 suspension)

[jalopi]

Per MR 325, if the e30 plates will fit on the e36 struts I'd get e30 plates. Even in the standard position you'd be gaining 3-4 degrees of caster, minimum. On the other hand, if you don't mind reverting to 4lug and all the work it entails, why not?

Just out of curiosity... you didn't specifically mention what kind of control arms the PO used during the swap. Does this car have e46 arms? That'd explain the extra camber too.

wow your caster must be quite low. get some ground control plates, they're one of the best IMO.

e36 or e30? Will they fit with the strut mount farther forward?

Would I be better off getting some e30 strut assemblies w/ camber/caster plates?

Yeah, I was really confused because most things I read said to use e30 mounts.

I'm just trying to figure out the best, cost-effective way to do this right,

[MR 325]

I hate when people do it that way. E30 strut mounts fit right on to the E36 struts.

Since you already have the extra holes you can buy either E30 or E36 camber plates.

Can you post a picture of your current top mount setup?

So I bought this e30 with the front 5 lug swap done with e36 m3 parts. He drilled holes in the towers to accomodate the struts, however I have ~5* of negative camber up front and I'd like to bring it back the other way a little bit.

What can/should I do? Camber plates, which ones fit the drilled towers?
