Camber plates on the E92. 350.00 for Vorshlags and a couple of hours to install. you can get up to -3.## of camber.

There is a pin at the top of the strut tower that can be removed and that is supposed to give a little -camber.

The stock shock towers allow for minor camber adjustment. You can loosen the 3 bolts and move them.

Please don't try to do this on your own. You will really screw up your alignment. When you adjust camber, you affect toe. If you change the toe too much, you will shred your tires. If you want your alignment to be more aggressive, please take it to a shop.

Like SoCalTech said, adjusting your camber to any degree will alter your toe adjustment. If you're trying to get the camber you like in order to clear fenders or what not, just make sure to get the toe adjusted by a shop soon afterwards. Bad toe settings can eat tires very quickly.

Sorry. I was inferring that the couple of hours for install would be done by a qualified shop or individual.

Might be 3 hours and then the time for the alignment. Depends on shop.

Caveat: Refute or corroborate please -- Once installed you're not guaranteed great handling. Make sure to get someone who really knows suspension setup and the E92, if possible. It'll be well worth it.

Who the hell sets their wheels to -3 degrees of camber? That's crazy.

It just allows you to if you want. There are however many drivers running -3 when at the track. If it's their DD they usually adjust it back for street use: -2 to -1.

Camber plates these days allow pretty easy adjustment and the alignment can be set so it's very track oriented when at max. adjustment and very street oriented when at street adjustment.

It's pretty cool.
