Home made camber plates

HCMW Adam · 07-07-2017, 11:26 AM

This is what I did to my e90.

I water jet cut two 11 ga steel plates and TIG welded them to the ID hole in the towers. Once in place I used a rotary tool to slot the towers to match the slots in the plates. The slots allow for returning camber to OEM position. After an alignment both sides are at -2.1° camber. There are also tabs on the front for attaching a strut tower brace. At the moment that brace is a piece of tubing. Eventually I will roll a piece of tube into a gently arc and weld in bushings to the bolt holes.

Great work OP!

Not a bad idea. I could provide the plates and verticals for the bar. Anyone who can handle the welding can certainly get a piece of pipe and drill some holes.

Id buy this. Comfort of stock rubber strut mounts. Simplicity of sliding camber adjustment. Good job man!
