    My car's A DD not looking to make 1000 adjustments on it.

    Is it better to keep these instead of getting camber plates?

    Is replacing these with camber plates something I should do?

    What's a good sign that these need to be replaced?

    I have 120,000 on my original ones and I'm re-doing my suspension is it something I should just do?

      One thing to take into consideration is getting the M3 upper strut mounts. They will add half a degree of negative camber to the front. Its not a lot, but its still a better setup than stock and has less NVH than camber plates (although not nearly as much neg camber). Just something to consider if you are replacing the front strut mounts anyway...

        Better to keep these, unless you're looking to track your car agressively.

        Just replace them if you're in there.

          I think you mean the crash repair mounts. I don't think the M3 mounts were offset...

            I went ahead and changed mine cause I was doing the struts. They didn't really seem like they needed to be changed though. I also just noticed, I ordered Sachs but was sent Boge... (Worldpac)

              We've got Sachs-Boge strut mounts in stock. They're the genuine OEM supplier for BMW.

                Just ordered a pair. Thanks for the heads-up, Mike.

                BTW, I bought my Koni's from Pure MS about a year and a half ago, great service.

                    I'll do Boge for $26.86, can possibly do Sachs for the same amount.

                        Read the thread date, Mike. 2 years ago, another guy bumped it up. :)
