    GC camber mounts or IE3

    Ok first yes I searched and read a lot about IE 3 compared to H&R race. I love H&R but wouldn't mind trying the IE3's. I have a 325i and I have brand new front billie sports and H&R springs Don't know which ones, haven't gotten a number off them yet but they are red. I don't have a matching set on the rear. They are red also but they only have numbers on them. I don't have that number either.

    So onto the question. I want to go lower in the front. Do I get GC camber plates that are 24MM shorter or just get a set of IE3's. Can't afford both or I would just get GC coilovers.

      The GC camber plates lower the car without taking away room for the wheels to move up and down.

      Shorter springs (of any brand, even coil-overs) will lower the car by taking AWAY the room for the wheels to move up and down.

      So of the two options you have to make the front of your car lower, the GC camber plates will ride and handle the best plus you can align the car.

            the GC spec e30 Camber plates for use with H&R race springs lowered the front of my car about 10mm. i was happy with the result.

              I've got the vorshlag pieces and absolutly love them. This is in combination with GC coilovers. I'm very happy with the plates, but the GC ones (new design) are apparently very good as well.

                You Jay from GC? If so I talked to you and you sent me a pick of the camber mounts. That is why I am indecisive
