Default Coilovers camber plates

Received a set of maXpeedingRODS Camber Plate in the post today along with a set of Meyle HD RSMs for a set of TA Technics coilovers and rear shocks for a TI I am setting up for my son.

$129 on eBay for the plates, $350 for the Coilover set. I'll see how they perform for less than $500. Oh, another $36 for the Meyle HD RSMs.

That looks like a great project. Are the camber plates all metal, or is there any polyurethane bushing material to quell vibration? I used full metal camber plates on my old MR2 autocrosser and they "thunked" quite a bit. But if those plates are quiet, I might also go for 'em.

I like them! Or rather, my son does. We have been Auto-x in the car and they are not harsh at least for me. We both
Like the setup. -2 degrees negative camber as this is also his daily driver.

Adjust them high and lower them, not the other way around. I had them too low, couldn't get my low profile Jack under the car to adjust afterwards. Also when too low, the adjustment nuts rubbed my inside surface of the tires. Adjust high and I suspect you won't have that issue.

I really like the TAs for the value. The camber plates give nice adjustability.

318ti (E36/5) is basically a E36 Sedan from front suspension perspective adjusted for the weight of the motor. The plates fit just fine.

You are not irritating. We all help each other here. Pay it forward.
