Default m3 Strut Hats

How many people are using these for the extra negative camber? Is it a noticeable difference from our stock strut hats?

I swapped the `96+ M3 strut hats (driver side one on passenger side and vice versa). I have -2 camber and +7 1/4 caster including the offset control arm bushings. My car isn't slammed to the ground however as I know people can get more caster/camber by using them.

Nice...How do you like the rate on your springs? Are they rough on the streets?

On a smooth street it's fantastic and in my mind feels smoother than cars with much softer springs as it doesn't dip/dive/wallow around (except it will def. follow dips in the road). On the freeway it just sits rock solid.

Broken pavement is where you will really notice the firmness, which brings along more rattles in the interior and whatnot. If you drive in downtown SF a lot it wouldn't be ideal and may be downright rough but if you generally are on decent roads it's quite fun.
