What are these Ground Control camber plate specs?

In the meantime while I wait for a response from GC, I thought I'd ask here

What are the specs on these F8X camber plates? I.e. adaptive or non adaptive, spring inner diameter. We know its 5 bolt.

I need it be able to work with a 18' M3 comp with a KW HAS kit and adaptive suspension. If not, these are for sale lol.

The spring perch looks like it's for the stock spring ID and somebody just left the dust boot/rubber isolator on the perch. Should work for the stock adaptive struts. Should work for your KW HAS.

Ok thanks. Can you tell if they are capable with edc or not? Not sure how different it would even be for edc vs non edc

EDC non EDC same thing, the wire passes through the center pin of the shock so you are good to go.

No I not believe so. I tried looking up on GC's website to see what they look like or if they sell them, but could not find them. Is it potentially located under my rubber boot?

you have 2 options...
1. Call GC directly tell them you need the washers and top nut for the type of shock you plan on using these camber plates on. OES, Bilstein, MCS, JRZ ETC. they are specific to shock because each shock is slightly different.

2. You can also order through Bimmerworld their customer support is top notch if it's not in stock they will drop ship from GC since it's a GC product.

Who ever sold you the camber plates kinda jacked you by not supplying the necessary hardware to properly install them.

Are you using Standard of lowering springs? the camber plates looks like it's setup for OE or Lowering springs.

Choices are OE style lowering springs
2.5" ID coils
2.25" ID coils
60mm ID coils etc.

If you need any of these cups i have extras since i changed my setup several times and bought the necessary hardware to make my GC plates work with my shock of choice.

Looks like I will call GC or Bimemrworld for a hardware kit for the plates. I am running the KW HAS kit. The cups you are referring to is the under piece correct?

This is for standard style lowering springs so the KW HAS kit will work with the current grey cups that you have.
