An OEM style camber plate is still required for that. Vorshlag needs to hear from you guys.

I've been emailing Terry. He said they have test fit them on an M2 and the F22 plates fit.

They've updated the description on the website, but there is no "F87 M2" section yet.

By the profile of the struts and springs they should, but still waiting for confirmation on the actual fitment.

It's confirmed. Go to the section for F22 camber plates. He says fits M2 as well.

They do. See mine ? I would probably advise a longer front spring if I had to do it again. I might even switch at some point at the end of the season. Otherwise you have to spin the collars all the way to the top to keep any preload on the spring.

For now though, the car feels great, and I have -2.5 camber up front with no camber plate noise. Track test this weekend.

Those are the Ohlins? How are they? 1100lb rear spring? Did you track the car in stock form already for comparison? DD?

They are Ohlins with custom spring rates.

458 lb/in front
784 lb/in rear

Still a DD so I picked more reasonable spring rates. Didn't track it before.

The rear shocks are set to about what the instructions say. You can kind of see the spring setting in the pic too. The fronts are pretty clear in the pic.

I ran them at 13 off full stuff the first day to see what they are like with a more stock like setting. Then 8 off full stiff on the second day. He car was more stable under braking with the stiffer settings. It would want to walk side to side with the softer setting. Not uncontrollable, but probably disconcerting to some.

Overall, the Ohlins and Vorshlags are a great combo. Very well mannered on the street. I'll try to post more info and some video in another thread.

Hey forgot to ask this weekend. What are the Ohlins like on the street compared to the stock setup? More or less forgiving?

Thanks for the photos. That will give other M2 owners with the Swift springs of lower rates an idea where to start on the height adjusters.

I think I notice the camber plates and RE71r more than the spring rates. I haven't driven the car since I got back from SP. gotta swap the ungodly loud PFC08 out first. I'm just being lazy. More info later on street ride after I swap back to the stock pads and wheels/tires.

Make sure vorshlag sends the right hardware so you don't end up with your car taken apart like mine and not being able to reassemble. Gotta love it, BETA testing on customer cars.

I have used Vorshlag in the past with coils and liked them. I want to make sure I can use for both suspensions before I buy them.
