    what tires are you running? camber plates will help with tire wear as well as give you better turn-in and cornering.

      No idea. I don't even have wheels yet. :)
      Nothing off the wall. I know that doesn't help but I'm still planning how I'm gonna build the car.

          I was just thinking if you're going to run r-compounds or other expensive tires the camber plates are well worth it.

                Yes. You want as much camber as you can dial in on an e30 for a track car. recommend GC or Vorshlag. If you intend to stay spec e30 legal, then you should look at the plates carr industries offers.

                  Cool. Thanks guys.
                  I guess I need to add that to my list for the car.
