Adjustable Top Mounts
Im having Bilstein PSS10 coilovers fitted on thursday and im considering having adjustable top mounts fitted at the same time in order to get the correct camber etc.
I was looking at the Turner Motorsport ones - BUT someone has mentioned the Nitron adjustable mounts. Does anyone know whether the Nitron ones are fully compatible with the PSS10's? Urgent advice needed!

Hard to say - if I remember correctly the PSS10 front springs for the E46 M3 are conical shaped and fit the OEM top mounts/spring perch. Therefore you need to find a camber plate that will work with OEM-style springs as the diameter of the top of the spring will be larger than a Koni-style cylindrical spring.. Most of the aftermarket top mounts are designed for things like Koni coilovers which typically use a cylindrical spring and therefore need a 60mm top mount or similar. The PSS10s on my car needed a 102mm top mount which was custom made for me by Ground Control in the US. The best thing for you to do is to simply get the Turner Motorsports top mount. It works perfectly as it retains the use of the OEM spring perch, guaranteeing compatibility with the PSS9/PSS10 Bilstein kit. If you want an alternative, you'll need to ask Nitron, Ground Control, or Vorschlag whether they have adjustable camber plates for use with OEM-sized E46 springs. The Nitron plates are good, but it's doubtful whether they'll have an OEM-compatible version on the shelf. It's most likely they'll have to custom make one for you, which will take a few weeks and cost a fair bit!
