Default HELP! Tire wear, front camber plates, rear control arms

Gentleman,

My 323ti is running H&R Race, Koni Sports, 18", sparco strut bar, and is trying severe inside tire wear.

Lost front driver side tire, replace it, and take the car to the tecnical support. They do service and told me, that if still remains, it will be need to make camber service ( wich means here, put some lateral force on my shocks!!! What i don΄t want!).

Well, after some KM(miles), driver side tire is ok, but i notice that know i have wear at passenger side, again inside. Take to another shop, and my front camber is 2.50 right, 1.80 left. Guy told me, the wear is due to negative camber, and need to fix it.

So I decided for vorshlag front camber plate. Is really a good option?

On rear, i put some KM (miles) ago 2 new Potenza S-02. It΄s not so hard, but i can observe some minimal inside tire wear. Well, considering that we don΄t have rear adjustable control arms for ti, what is need to fix it?

Any input is highly appreciate!

Thank you very much!

There are camber kits for both front and rear, I have both.

http://www.bavauto.com/shop.asp

Look under suspension, then rear axle for the rear camber kit.

For front, I used SPC brand.

L8, what made you decide to go for SPC camber plates in the front over Bavauto?

I have been getting uneven tire wear ever since I installed the HR Race springs and Would like to take care of this instead of buying new tires constantly.

Are you satisfied with them?

I didn't know BavAuto made front camber kit. I just checked their site, didn't see one.

The front kit from SPC is great, easy to install. Both kits have worked perfectly, even wear on all four wheels.

The rear camber kit from Bavauto can be a pain to install. The SPC kit is best put in when you swap springs/struts, like I did.

For rear, i found KMAC. Some bucks less expensive than bavauto. On pics, they look very similar.

Any ideia if KMAC is good?

Front, still reading some good things about Vorshlag. What you can tell me?

Never heard of Vorschlag. The K-Mac is the same as the Bavauto kit.
