camber plates needed for H&R Sports?

[CorvallisBMW]

How many of you running H&R sports are also running camber adjustment of some kind? What kind? To those without camber adjustment, are you encountering any significant tire wear?

im running h&r race and not having a issue at all as far as wear goes. e30groupie is on coilovers but he has plates in the front, dont think the rears are wearing too bad either though.

Good to know. I made the mistake of trying to add up all the parts I will need to buy for the 'vert project, and the number made me want to crawl under the desk and cry. So if I can save $150 and not go with adjustable camber plates, I'm all for it. I don't have any on the coupe and it seems to be fine, but it's also riding on big floppy 195/65-14s while the vert will run 235/45-17s

P.S. i still want to drive ur car :)

IWhile you will get more camber from H&R Sport springs, setting a bit less than normal toe will help with front tire wear. On the street you can go down to 1/16" total toe without adversely affecting stability.

wtf? you do not needs plates with h&r sports.

Also, that tire size is way too tall for an e30. Even 235/40-17's are 1+ inches taller than stock

the front tire wear is not as big of an issue as the rear. Major camber going on. I rotate front to back with every oil change.
