ZCP-->now what? Dinan stage III or camber plates?

I have an E90 M3 ZCP on the way, and had planned all along to do a Dinan Stage III suspension install on it. But based on my reading here, this might not be such a good idea...will I just be undoing the progress and good work that M division has done in creating the ZCP? Should I just install camber plates like the KMac from Turner Motorsport to allow a bit more negative camber for trackdays, and call it good at that? Or would there be benefit in terms of suspension travel/compliance, etc., to be had by doing a Dinan Stg III on my ZCP?

you should probably just drive it stock for a while if the car is still on the way

If that was your plan you shouldn't have ordered a ZCP.

If you plan to track it, add camber plates before you hit the track and wear out a set of front tires from one days worth of track sessions. If you don't plan to track it, than run it as is for a while.

Got my answer from Dinan yesterday--they have a ZCP car in their shop for development to see what changes or improvements they can make to the suspension, so probably in a few months there will be a separate Dinan setup for the ZCP. Awesome--that way I can have the Dinan benefits along with the other electronic changes of ZCP.
