    Custom - Stock/Modded Camber plate?

    Anybody ever tried or did a custom-adjustable camber plates ? I was thinking to make adjustable my e36 top mouth shock plate in an adjustable camber plates. I know it won't be the same or give me the same travel but soemthign I could play or just try to bring back the gemoetry ( alittle at last) of the e36 5 lug swapp in my e30.

    If anybody has experience or have pcics , would be aprecited if he can share.
    Thanks

    I'll probably be going down this road soon, my only option for camber right now is the factory crash mounts, which are over $300 each and only give 1/2 of a degree. I figure for $700 I could easily have custom ones made, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet. I'm thinking about modifying some stock strut bearings (a mere $100 each), but I'm not sure how much room that gives me.

    anyone know the ID of a standard E30 strut bearing? if it's the same as the ix it's possible I could use part of an aftermarket camber plate to avoid having to design the whole thing, but since my only other option is so expensive it wouldn't really matter in the end.

      $300 is way to much for the crash mounts, I paid $90 for just one for my 88 325is, I doubt the Ix ones would be that much more.

        I know, it sucks, but that's what they cost - I've gotten quotes from several places, the lowest was $312 each from BMA.

            I'm not talking about a RWD E30 here. ;)

            so anyone know the ID of a standard strut bearing?

                GC Camber plates would be the best.

                Not that expensive, and are v.good quality.

                  that's nice, but not very helpful.
