Ground Control Hybrid Camber Plates
Just wanted to post some quick pictures... more info when I get time
Facts Two bearings (needle + spherical) Camber and caster adjustable w/o uninstallation Included rubber-padded upper spring perch to reduce noise Block height for strut shaft mounting: 1.5" 2.5" ID springs only $419 These are made to work with race springs only, hence aftermarket struts are needed. GC does sell versions which allows the use of stock springs. (Edit: may not be the case; please check with GC to verify) http://www.ground-control-store.com/...ion.php/II=143 |

noob
Would there be any advantage to mess with the camber for a street car? looks obviously but any real performance gains?

Not really. Any you'd have to get some coilover's to use these since you have to use 2.5" springs.

I talked to Jay at Ground Control he told me that they didn't sell a version which allows the use of stock springs. The only thing out there that 'll work with the stock springs are fixed camber plates from Dinan. |

The hybrid plates are a special version of their race plates and are meant for race springs only! Regardless of whether it is for E30, 36, 46, or 92... They were never designed to work with stock springs...

What's available and what's not is a little confusing in this thread.
1) Adjustable camber plates for the stock suspension with stock springs are not available and you would not want them since they would raise the front end significantly (per email from Jay 2 months ago). 2) Fixed camber plates available from Dinan will work with stock suspension, but then you're stuck with just that, fixed camber. Adjustable is nice in that regard. You can dial up -2.5 or -3.0 degrees in your garage without needing an alignment for track use and then dial back to -1.5 without adverse effect. 3) Ground control sells a very nice adjustable suspension upgrade with street version camber plates for the E9x M3 with your choice of aftermarket springs but retains the stock shocks especially if you want to keep EDC. So the question is is this new hybrid type adjustable camber plate available for the E9x M3 with or without the complete suspension kit (confirmed)? |
