I just got the K-Mac adjustable camber/caster from Turner (front and rear) about a month ago, and I am not very happy with them. The rear set


A while back I had been interested in the
kmac parts. However, the main
distributor in Germany says they cant
get the parts anymore and KMAC in Australia
wont answer emails.

Well, probably good anyway. Are you
running coil overs as well? Just use
the solid mount plates from BMW Motorsport.

As far as the rear goes...the only real
way to do things is to use an adjustable
rear sub frame. There is a place in Germany
that makes them 2 different ways: as they
were done on the Gr. A DTM cars (needs
periodic adjustment, which is no problem
on a race car) and on the rally
cars (needs adjustement roughly 1 time a year).


The BMW eccentrics are usually good
enough for adjusting (you get only 1
chance to set them) toe on the rear.
Not for camber.

Currently I have -2 front, -2.5 rear camber.
tires run off fairly flat. need a little more
front camber though.
