M2 M Performance Suspension and Vorshlag Camber plates - which one?
https://vorshlag-store.com/collectio...32106773610558
Honestly, I am a little confused - I know it is a 5-bolt but what strut type is it? I just checked the top nut and its not 19 or 22 - an 18mm multi-point socket felt like it fit the best. Anybody have these cambers and can provide a suggestion on the specific strut type to select? Thanks Last edited by lax01; 06-22-2020 at 03:40 PM.. |

I just went and measured the strut shaft and the top nut is also a 10mm (not 12 or 14mm) so now I'm really confused...would Vorshlag potentially be able to answer this question?

Never had a problem with them though The shop who is doing the install asked as they are going to acquire the camber plates |

You could probably look in the MPS installation guide to see if the OEM nut gets reused.

hah, well I did find it and I believe there was an "optional" hardware kit for it? I honestly don't know...I have a M2 Performance Edition and the suspension was all port-installed

Stock suspension has 18mm 12 point like what you have in the picture, then the M perf suspension kit comes with 22mm 6 point nut replacement. |

So, the port didn't install with the optional hardware kit? Whats the impact? Whats the purpose of the optional hardware kit?
Also, not really helping me with my real question in this thread hah - what is the strut type for Vorshlag camber plates? |

For me though, i just used the hardware that came with the kit, which was 22mm. As far as your original question, it's probably best if you just email them directly. |

hah - yeah, gonna call over there - I also realized I was looking at the wrong camber plates: https://vorshlag-store.com/collectio...13539286941758 (is the correct one - for anyone in the future)
But it doesn't help clear up the question: I'm not sure where Vorshlag got the 19 and 22 top nut numbers...I've seen nothing in research to indicate that the top nut is either size |

I take it back - having gone and looked at mine again.
The black 'nut' is the hex on the top of the shaft, with the BMW locknut on the threaded section below. The F22 - i think - uses the smaller diameter damper rod with an M12 nut, while the M2 uses M14. I'm fairly sure I saw a picture where someone was trying to fit incompatible parts and used a couple of washers to make it work. I got mine in 2017. It came with Nyloc nuts for the strut. I used the BMW items instead. |

OEM - the MPS is meant to be installed with the OEM strut. I ordered Ground Control - OEM strut type for my MPS.

If I notice uneven wear on the front without tracking problems I would probably follow Bee Pee and fit the .5 degree hubs. |
