Hi everyone. I'm planning on putting my M on some KW HAS spring sleeve overs, along with a Dianan sway bar up front. The wheels will hopefully be the vorsteiner ff101's, which run 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the rear.

I'm wondering if I'll need Camber plates or adjustable control arms in the rear. In other words will I need to adjust for toe or camber?

I'm looking to avoid all these costs so any advice or recommendation would be helpful.


Thanks

There's a lot you have to take in account, will you track? Is the car DD?
Camber plates are nice for taking advantage of tires and having more adjustability, but if you want to avoid the extra cost you could just pull the alignment pin and get close to -2.

For street I'm on springs and GC camber plates.

For street use you will be perfectly fine with the stock rear bits. For the front you should not need camber plates - I was able to get -2 degrees in the front with KW HAS kit with everything else stock and the alignment pins still in. And it's not like you even need that much.
