335D with M3 front lower control arm for more negative camber

have anyone installed front lower control arm off M3 to increase negative camber?
does it help with stability?

Installed them along with many other suspension parts so can’t answer directly before vs after for this part only. This part does give you additional .75deg of negative camber. It’s supposed to improve turn in but unsure about your question on stability.

Adding more camber (negative), tend to help with stability

Tons of people have done it. Very good mod, nice noticeable increase in steering feel (although that's usually compared to worn arms, but still an improvement) with virtually no downsides.

To be honest I didn't notice any change in stability, but the added grip from the negative camber is very welcome.

It improves road feel and control during cornering. It increases HVH slightly and can cause some mild ringing noise and general tire noise. Some have suggested just changing the lowers arms to m3 for the camber but keeping the upper arms stock to keep NVH down.

Both arms make a significant difference in the handling, so I would always do both. The change in NH isn't drastic. I noticed a bigger NH change from switching to M3 rsfb.
