That car looks baller with the dish on it.
Good luck with your swap man!
I am not running camber plates at the moment. When I replace my steering rack (soon) I may add the BMW E30 plates that add or subtract .75 degrees of camber to the front (obviously to add more in my case). The other option I have in mind is to go with the Vorschlag (spelling?) camber plates. Rave reviews are all I see. I think having both the front and rears around -2 degress should be just fine for mostly street. I am not sure on which way I will go just yet.

need help with my 5 lug convertion
Originally posted by clavinZERO View PostI converted my car to 5-lug in June/July of 2007. I had access to a shop, which made things a lot easier. I also had some help from some R3V members. Cahomey (Aaron), JustinB (Justin) and my uncle were instrumental in completing this project. Oh and my girlfriend helped me bleed the brakes so I could actually drive, hehe. After much research and weighing my options, I took the plunge. About $4500 later, she is a rolling beauty! I went with E36 M3 front and Z3 rear setups.

aarturovargas: you need the 97 or later control arms (late 96 might work too, but 97 for sure) AND offset control arm bushings. You can get the OEM E30 M3 offset bushings or any aftermarket E30 offset ones.
