Re: Need info/manuf. on rear adj. camber plates (archive)

Glad to see you already tried the stock adjustment. If you still see unacceptable wear Kmac has an an eccentric that extends the range of the rear camber adjstment. You could possibly dial in enough camber to go positive. I have seen them at www.turnermotorsport.com and also www.bmp.com They are a little pricey though. That is my next mod too. If you catch the problem early enough you can swap rear tires from left to right. You will need to dismount the tires and switch them to make this work. You can do the same in the front but it makes the car handle a little quirkey. I just did my E30 which also suffers from this problem.

I don't remember at all the places/websites/phone numbers of the places that sell the adjustable camber plates. I know there has been quite a bit of discussion about the front plates, but I remeber seeing adjustable ones for the rear. Anyone have the sites/stores/manufacturers?

I don't have a problem with the front tires wearing unevenly, but the rears do (probably alot to have to do with the way I drive)... I have the adjustments on the 'eccentric'??? bolt below adjusted all the way in (and my last alignment got the rear pretty close to come 'within' the factory specs....)

I think that in the long run it would be cost effective to fork up several hundred dollars if I can extend the life of my tires (?????, dunno, I'll have to sit down and figure out what kind of extension on tire-life I need).

For now, I am just rotate the tires in a fashion (not really rotate) that when the rears are getting burnt out in the inside (pretty bald) I throw the fronts (which are usually in good condition) and buy new tires for the fronts.

Thanks in Advance
