Just installed the GC plates with stock suspension.
Uneventful install. Was able to get -3.0 each side with a little finger's worth of clearance remaining between the spring and the inner shock tower. There is still some plate range left. You clearly could dial in more with smaller coilover springs, but that will have to do for now. Also set toe at darn close to 0 leaning a touch in. Going to run at VIR in a few weeks. Bet I still wear the outer edges, but this should help the tires last a bit longer. We shall see |

Camber settings
What have you guys found with higher camber settings for the street? I'm considering going near 2° negative camber on my incoming M2. It will be a street/DE car. I'm okay w/shorter tire life if it's workable

As long as you are okay with shorter tire life -2 is okay along with zero toe. If you are going to adjust for more camber come track day, you will want some toe in for the street since adding camber will toe the car out slightly.

No problem....but I do get tires cheap! I ran that set up at Sebring and drove the car back to Atlanta with no issues.

I ended up at -2.75 and zero with good wear on the street so far (7k miles), but we have a lot of roundabouts, so that may even it out better (and make it more appropriate) than if you're 100% highway...YMMV

So is it pretty much pick your favorite brand between?
* TCK * GC * Vorshlag All are priced right around $550 Looks like Vorshlag has 6 hex bolts for adjustment vs. 4 for TCK/GC Always been a fan of TCK products but I definitely remember clunking with my E46M3 and their camber plates (due to the top nut slightly backing off) Any consensus on which one to run? |

TCKR is a none sliding design so there is no worry about the adjustments moving. |
