E30 fixed camber plates
-
Anyone have experience with fixed camber plates on e30’s? I’d like to make the car handle a little better for next summer and minimize the extra wear I’m getting on the outside edge of the stickier tires I put on. Basically, anything to look out for, any good brands, advice?

I have a set on my car. I like them, though I haven't driven my car without them installed to compare. Only downsides I've seen is that they will raise the front of the car by the thickness of the plate, and you likely won't be able to run e90 drop hats if you use them. Not sure what brand mine are as I got them with my suspension, but they're likely all pretty similar. They don't add a ton of camber, maybe around 1 degree, since you are limited by the diameter of the stock springs. If you can get a set fairly inexpensively, I'd say go for it.

Gotcha. Yeah I’m gonna try to find some used if I can, although ill still probably pick up a set if I can’t. It looks like they’re around $130 at most places, and I can get up to around 1.25 degrees at most.

Dont forget offset control arm bushings. They increase dynamic camber change
Those will also probably be in the cards eventually, but if I do the CABs I’m gonna refresh the entire front end, and I really don’t know if I have the time/energy/funds to do that this summer. I guess we’ll see haha.
