    Camber Plates for Jstock Springs

    Going with the JStock spring and custom valved bilsteins.. Which camber plates should I go with? This is for a dedicated track car.

    I search but couldn't find anything.. I have a set of KMAC stage 1 camber plates but I think I need something with more adjustability/accuracy/durability since this is for a track car

    Ground control? Is so, which ones? I don't know the differences between these two:

    Ground Control Adjustable Camber/Caster Race Plates
    Ground Control Adjustable Camber/Caster Plates - E30 Street Spring/Spec E30

    And GC's website confused me even more: Ground Control E30

    I am also open to other manufacturers.

    Thanks for the help.

      Haha, I'm in the same boat, trying to cash in on BW's Labor Day sale.

      I know the SpecE30 plates definitely work, as they are meant to work with stock diameter springs. It appears the other plates only work with common diameter coilover springs--60 mm, 2.25, and 2.5" ID springs.

          Which camber plates to use are totally driven by the spring diameter. I've never seen a set of J Stock springs, but I suspect they are of OE diameter. Which would mean using Spec E30 GC plates. You won't know for sure without having the springs in hand or talking to the folks at Turner, which won't be an option until Tuesday. But if you really can't wait until then I'd order the Spec E30 plates. Ground Control will exchange them if necessary.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            J-stock springs are definitely OE diameter, so it sounds like the Spec E30 plates are the only ones that will work.

              Both of my cars with J-stock run factory crash plates. 3 degrees of negative camber no adjustment and always felt perfect.

                I am just going to keep the KMAC stage 1 for now. I would get the the plates you suggested M-Technik-3 if I didn't already have these.

                I guess I don't have any reasons to use the bimmerworld labor day special..

                Thanks for the help guys!!
