Adjustable Camber Plates with H&R Springs

[FrenchBoy]

Does anyone make adjustable camber plates that can be used with an OEM setup + H&R sport springs?

I know Ground Control makes a kit but it seems to require smaller diameter springs.

Thanks.

Here's what you need:

Hmmm, I was under the impression that the non-M E90 camber plates don't fit the E9X M3 with EDC. Are you sure?

GC can tell you, but it ought to work. All the EDC requires is enough clearance for the actuater to slip over the end of the center shaft. Based on the pictures, looks like it should fit. You might also ask how much it will raise the ride height, since you can't compensate for it by adjusting the spring.

That's why I went with the conversion kit - didn't want to raise the ride height as happens with every other camber plate I've seen out there for our cars. FWIW, I really like the kit - have been pleased with it on the street & track. I didn't want to sacrifice EDC... and with this, didn't have to!

I am probably going to end up with the GC kit. However, I want to look at other options as I already have H&R springs and I am quite happy with them. Ideally, I would just get the camber plates.

I called Turner a while back and was told they were working on a Turner Motorsport camber plate design for the E9X M3. So far, no mention on their website though.

Yes, you are correct they are a different item. If you want the GC adjustable camber plate you'll need aftermarket springs. GC tends to prefer Eibach.

Just give ground control a call. Regular 3 and M3 have nearly the same, if not completely the same, camber plates. The only differences might be the diameter of the stem and shaft.

Where are you getting your information? I asked Jay this very question and he said they are "completely different."

GC can make you a camber plate for your stock spring diameter. Give them a ring.

You can do that, but if you use the stock springs you'll end up with the front end at least 1/2" higher than stock. Are H&R springs same diameter as stock? This might net you stock ride height if they are shorter.

[rzm3]

Yes H&R springs are the same diameter as stock since stock upper guide support is used...

I'm not 100% sure on the design for the GC on the E92 M3 but compared to the the E46 M3 kit, you're looking at maybe a 8mm difference. That's the same for the e9x 3 series also.

Thanks guys for the input. I will call GC at some point soon ask inquire about my options.

Called Jay at GC and talked for a while. Super nice and knowledgeable guy.
Just rrdered the kit with 440lbs/in front and 600lbs/in rear springs!
