I'll see how they perform for less than $500. Oh, another $36 for the Meyle HD RSMs. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

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. Geoff __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop.

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.

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.

The plates fit just fine. You are not irritating. We all help each other here. Pay it forward.
