Camber Plates

Anyone found camber plates for the E89? I'm itching to take it to the track, but if it's like every other BMW one day at the track without camber plates and you burn through a set of tires... Of course it would give a reason to replace the run flats then

I'm using K-Mac Stage III with KW V3's. While turning the steering wheel at low speeds some different noises coming from them and steering wheel has untrustful feeling at +220kmh (140mph). I'm regret to order them.
I'm also looking for a good brand who produced a good camber plate's.
Waiting for advices...

Definitely go with Ground Control. They've been around a long time. I have them on my Z4. Good for camber adjustment but no caster adjustment.

I m thinking about the ground control camber plates. Can some one tell me what spring inner diameter I should select with the KW V3 coilover kit? Since I have the oem camber with, it should be the oem size but not sure...

Thanks Filippo but I prefer to stay with the ground control, it seems to be better for a street use (go to the track maybe 4-5 times/year)

When I ordered a KW Variant 3 kit for my Miata it came with springs. I'm sure BMW kit does too. Check kit details on spring size.

Ground Control makes great stuff. But I'm curious why you say there setup is better for the street?

Interesting. Can I ask where you heard that? I am surprised there would be a difference. I was going to buy Vorschlag for my KW3 setup, but also looked at Ground Control. Do you have any more information to share on the noise factor?

Thanks,

Filippo

So I ordered Vorshlag camber/caster plates. They don't fit. It seems that the E89 Z4 shock tower mount holes are different than E90. They look like the E30 but spaced differently.

wmandra says he installed the Vorshlag kit in his suspension thread. Anyone have any specific info on this?
