GC camber plates?

[Brian 89 325i]

Anyone have the E30 GC front camber/castor plates? Are they worth the 300 they want? Do they work well with the original MacPherson strut, instead of the GC coilover system?
The ones im talking about.

THose Ebay ones use your stock upper strut mounts right? If so, thats the kind i dont want. I want some that have their own bearing, and no flexible material.

Ya stock bearing, that's why I'm trying to find info on them as I don't want to raise the front of my car but I also don't want to buy tires every year do to bald inside edges.

Ground control camber caster plates will only work with small diameter (2.25"/2.5") springs. They will not work with stock diameter springs.

That being said - I have them on my E30 m3, as well as the ground control coil over kit, and the plates are awesome. I can dial in an extra couple degrees of negative camber when I go to the track or an autocross, and then quickly set it back before I head home to minimize tire wear.

They do make the ride harsher, and they do require maintennance (the bearing fill with crap an have to be cleaned or they clunck and groan when you turn) but that is expected of a "race only" part.

the ones in Roundel are really thin..unlike the K Macs,
they will raise the car only a very small amount

Can I see pics of everyone's plates installed?
