The OEM setup uses a hard rubber bushing and the axis of the bushing to the damper shaft is 90 degrees so that the shaft travel is perpendicular to the shock body. When you adjust camber you are changing that angle away from 90 degrees, and that's why the majority of camber plates have a spherical bearing, this allows the damper shaft not to bind as it goes through the stroke. The downside of the spherical is that they're not really designed to take that sort of load in the smaller bearing sizes and packaging limitations of a camber plate limit bearing sizes -- so they make noise as they start to wear. These street plates attempt to replicate the comfort of a hard rubber bushing but seem to ignore the binding that comes from adjustment in camber. I'm not personally sure what sort of quantifiable reduction in shock life this would cause but it probably isn't zero.

I see what you mean. right now i have millway street with ohlins which uses stock hard rubber bushing vs. vorshlag or GC metal bearing directly mounted to ohlins. so far the ride is very very compliant, i drive the car to the track (500+ miles) and back and it's good, but i do not see these things last forever as i track but polyurethane and rubber bushing should help . i have seen so many GC bearings fail at the track even after a few days

Finally got these on today. Love them. Quiet and smooth. The road noise from my front AD08R's has been amplified significantly from 0-40mph. I'll be switching those out soon though. These camber plates made my already sharp and responsive setup more sharp and direct. Excited to get my left/right camber dialed in properly and setup with new front tires/wheel widths all around.
These were added to my MPHAS setup and I'll add some pics on another thread. |

Have to order direct from Sweden. That said, they ship VERY fast to the US.

I see they may have a new version coming out soon, which won't release until August 25th. "New updated version, more information and new pictures coming soon! Camber plates for BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82. Fits all suspensions. 0-30mm adjustment range. Standard camber is -1.2 degrees. *You can adjust up to - 4 degrees with this plates. Stainless steel motorsport bearings as standard." Btw, I really enjoy your videos. So informative! |

I am considering getting rid of my GC camber plates and switching to these as the creaking/grinding noise of GC is getting to me.
The most camber I want to run is -2.6, I assume these will do that correct? Are these relatively easy to adjust once installed as in can I trust my alignment shop to intuitively figure out how to adjust these to desired camber? The post above regarding hex bolts not being accessible beyond -2,4 is concerning a bit. |

I've had the Millway street plates installed (along with MP HAS) since April and haven't had a single issue with them. Zero NVH so far. Very happy with them.

Still very pleased with them. Have handled and held up to all my rough terrain driving just fine.

My plates don't have the studs (they're the older version). The bolts have been just fine without thread locker.
