Default Rear control arm toe/camber plates

Is there any interest in a few of these sets? I need a set for my 318ti project, but thought we might be able to put a few people together and have some tabs made which would save quite a bit of $$ over paying $150 something for them.

Let me know if there is any interest. I can draw something up quick and get a quote, but if no one wants them I might as well just buy them off the shelf (have to make quantity to cut the cost down)

Ohhh man lame! I'm very interested in a set of these but I'm going to be doing my bushing/diff/abs/spring replacement this weekend.

I'm hoping the tire wear will be acceptable with the H&R 29970 and stock camber and toe.

I have some CNC connections, send me a copy of the drawing and I'll send it to my friends for another quote.

Interested if you source them with high quality bolts.. Not looking for cheap grade 5 type stuff.

I'm pretty sure if you can get the plates made, we can get the bolts at McMasterCarr for a good price. I love that place for hardware..

I'm confused, I was the one posting about having these made. Are you making them now too?

These just need to be made from mild steel. Also, the bolts are eccentric so no McMaster today.
I bought mine from the dealer and they cost about 40 bucks for all of them.
Part numbers needed are:
33321095102 - Eccentric Bolt M12 x 98
33321092310 - Eccentric Washer
33326751446 - Flange Locking Nut
plus the plates of course.

I was just offering and I'm curious because I have a friend with some idle CNC equipment up in Toledo. If you're solid on your connection go for it!
