From what I've gathered here, the F80 stock is about -1.4* of camber. I'd like to get it to -2.4 or so. That's what I have on my e92 m3 and it's a good compromise for street/hpde that doesn't eat tires. I know I give up a little bit not having a dedicated track alignment, but life is all about compromises, and I'm not racing for a living, so I like to keep things simple. When you say it adds caster, how much are we talking about if I add 1* of camber? More caster should just make it track straighter and increase steering effort right?

I really hate the thought of streeting noisy adjustable camber plates. I hate road noise and vibration transferred into the cabin, which is why I used the Dinan fixed plates on my e92. They added zero noise and gave me what I wanted in extra camber.
