I finally decided to buy some camber plates for my E30 to match up with my short-bodied struts from GC. While I was tearing things apart, I converted from some adjustable non-M3 sway bar links to GC's M3 links, since the struts are modified to accept these.
I have to say I'm very impressed. The camber plates are not too harsh, actually, I'd say they're no rougher feeling on the road than the new OEM mounts I had installed. The only thing I thought was weird on the install is the big countersunk bushing on the bottom of the plates. It seems this would have been better if it was a counterbored bushing to accept the squared step in the strut shaft.
With the M3 links, I was able to get the sway bar properly adjusted, and the front end stays noticeably flatter in the corners.
