Installed Swift Springs and Vorshlag Camber Plates
I just bought an E92 M3 about three weeks ago after I moved to the Dallas area, and started reading the forums. So I have been on an upgrade path with it to prepare it for DE's specifically COTA in November. I realized that Vorshlag was in Plano so I went to them to install their parts and suspension.
I couldn't be more happy with the Swift springs and Vorshlag combination. I had Vorshlag on my M3 and they were always reliable and quite, the springs being linear are very much a track type spring you would see in a Coilover, and they match well with the DTC. The car has a nice suttle drop over stock, I mostly notice the drop in the rear, but you can tell the front has dropped as well. Characteristics of the ride are very similar to stock with much more control and firmness in the spring. I hit some major bumps on the way home and the suspension never crashed on the bumpstocks, I kept the original bumpstocks as well. I also installed the Stoptech big brake kit and put in high temp fluid. Apex wheels on the way today, and I think it is ready to go! I love this platform and the V8 in the car. Here is a link to Vorshlag's install. I thought this was a pretty cool feature of their work. Prices were very reasonable as well. https://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Custome...M3/i-t48Vkz6/A |

Very nice. That's my exact setup minus the BBK.
With the drop in height from the spring, I'm getting -3.2 negative camber, and getting even tire wear on track. For me, it took a few weeks of driving before the springs settled in though. |

you're going to love the camber plates. they really help with turn-in, track tire wear, and balancing out the handling of the car.

Congrats on the car and setup! If you're headed to the Texas Trifecta at COTA in November I'll see you there.

What do you mean by the springs settling in? Do you mean they dropped a bit more? I'm hoping that's the case as I just installed Swift springs on my ZCP car and the rear didn't drop at all! OP I was surprised that you noticed the rear drop more but looking at your pic its clear the rear is indeed lowered. But that wasn't the case for me, in matter of fact when looking at the ZCP and Swift rear springs side by the side the swift spring even seemed taller... and I did make sure the rear springs sat properly in the rubber perches.

I just chalked it up to "stiffer" springs overall, but a few weeks and some track time, the street ride started to feel like stock springs again. As for lowering, I'm not sure about that....my intent was not to lower my car, but to have stiffer springs at higher cornering forces. |

Mine is ZCP also...The installer told me that there was a drop. I personally did not check.
