The car rides awesome at the above spring rates, better compliance than stock with much more control. This suspension perform exceptionally well on soaking up the small undulations that the stock suspension wouldn't.

Especially if run without camber plates? I had the s/a setup on my e46 and thought it did not ride as well as stock. Wonder if it would perform better on the e9x.

If you ran 300F 400R or 350F 450R on your E46 the ride should have been okay. At 400F 500R or 500F 600R then it will bit firm. |

Mounting them like you suggested would mean NO camber adjustment in the negative direction, but rather positive to correct for too much camber. |

The logos aren't supposed to be read from standing in front of the car, but rather from the sides of the cars. See attached photo: |

Ahhhh, I see. Thanks for the photo! I'm an idiot.
Sorry, I understand. I didn't realize there were different slots for camber, much cooler design than I thought. |

No, as long as you don't move the camber plates and don't alter the ride height, alignment should not change. However, it is still a good idea to check the alignment after you are finished with the spring swap.

Just a comment on the positioning of the plates. Back in the day....10-12 years ago, people who autocrossed with these plates would decrease the caster as much as possible to gain more camber. I found out that my E36 M3 had the only set of red TCK plates ever made. The guy I got the car from worked for TC Kline when he put the car together. Evidently TC hated the red plates and so there were never any more done that way. I bought the car in 2003 and just learned of this last month.
