That is the original design. I had to do before and after renderings in solidworks or NX 8. Looking to use a better spherical bearing and add ball bearings to the top hat

Anyone got a rear Euro License Plate Filler for sale or know where to get one?

[einstein57]

I has some new early model ones for $30

AK what camber plates do you have? I'm doing my suspension overhaul soon , and im looking into getting Camber plates

I have Ireland Engineering Race plates.
Low stack height and work well.
I just don't like that mine are now around 5 or more years old and I probably need new bearings. I also dont like how you have to use 2 of the 4 bolts to get maximum adjustments.
Have you ever seen BC/MEGAN/KSPORT camber plates in their coil over kits? I love the design. The plates adjustment bolts are deep under the strut tower so you can adjust them easily without removing bolts and stuff.

Let's just say that I am VERY fortunate to have the career and salary that I currently have. I have ALOT less education than many people under me but I worked really hard to get where I am. I have 2 kids 2 dachshunds and a wife. Since i spend alot of time with my kids and my gaming habbit I really don't have time to do anything more than to change out an interior or do very minor mechanical work.

I wish I could find the time to learn how to tear down an engine and rebuild it but I just don't. This is why I always post and ask people to do stuff for me! I also have had alot of back muscle strains. Just this August I was working on my garden (one of my other hobbies) I strained my back and was laying helpless for about 45 minutes before I was able to drag myself in the house and let everyone know that I got hurt.

Now I can barely pick up those five gallon water jugs without fear of tweaking my back again. Halloween night I was chilling in my round chair and I got up funny and got slightly hurt, I was very close to not bringing my kids on their halloween walk!

My favorite part of this quote is how you numbered your wife after your dachshunds.

Abby, I have ie race on full on 2bolts. No issues.

I've been running 2 bolts for 4 years. Take one bolt out to adjust, and it tilts the bottom plate sideways. I manage, but I don't like it.
And looooool @ ppl who section their strut towers.

This is a good adjustment design in my opinion. Nothing in the way when you put your fingers there.

This, here is poopoo in my opinion.
You have to use only 2 bolts to get proper adjustment for whatever you're trying to do.
If you take/loosen 1 of those 2 bolts, the tophat/bearing/thing under it spins and/or moves and causes nothing but annoyances.

edit... read that wrong.

@abby



When I picked up the car. Currently have it maxed out. Ive thought about cutting the tower to go further. More front camber than rear lolz. Ive also read ppl say these make loud bangs with hitting bumps.

you can see my smexy front camber here lol


must be the reason why the inside tread is wearing a bit fast lolz

I lol'd at your wifes placement also.... But who could forget being laid out for 45 mins.... But seriously I understand what you mean.

^Agree..

[e30trooper]

swapped over to the h4h1's while i do a rebuild on my bixenons :D
Its nice having a extra set of non sealed beams :D



my turn signal/parking lights




if i could find a lens for tha highbeam id run the parking/signals in the highs but no luck and I needed to think fast since early signal delete ... Looks cool tho need h4 hid bulbs tho..

Fuck running race camber plates on the street, they wear too fast and make too much noise. My GC Touring plates are awesome! Super nice quality, very easy to adjust, 12mm less stack height than stock mounts, and no added noise!

[R3Z3N]

Agreed, the GC Touring or hybrids are about perfect.

E30trooper, for the track you want more front camber than rear. That's usually normal race setup...Though our problem is our dynamic camber change is too little due to our rear trailing arms, but that's what makes our cars fun, is not having all the grip we could have with proper double wishbone suspension!

Good Morning, TGIF! Called a guy about a $500 Bavaria for Brian. Hopefully going to look at it this weekend. It's a pre-smog car so we could have some fun with the M30.;)

Cheers,

Jim
