I recommend getting camber plates.

Even with minimum drop springs?

Yes. I’m on sp083s (which aren’t noticeably more aggressive in terms of drop than sp089s) and even before the front control arm and bumpsteer mods I wanted more camber. It sucks to take the front struts apart, so I recommend just doing it once and being done with it.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Those bolts might get hammered badly.

I grabbed steeda min drop (not bmr) which only drop 0.5. Also the bilstein are reported to raise height a little cuz of the high pressure gas so final drop could be around 3/8.

Those plates look good but pricey...also got springs already but its definitely a nice kit

They are probably one of the most expensive ones but they also might be the best made ones. That being said, if I didn't get mine used, I probably would've gone with Steeda for price

You can order any combo of springs with or without camber plates. Plus, it comes assembled.

Nice, is this kitting a new offering? First time I see it.
I already got springs and dampers from other vendors based on shipping prices to PR as it makes a big difference cost wise.
Also got the M3 bump stops and new struts to spindle bolts.
Only missing camber plates now...

I've had the BMR, Vorshlag and now J&M. The J&M are my favorite of the three I've owned. Vorshlag are very nice and have a ton of adjustment range, but I find the overall design of the J&M superior.

Going to check J&M right now, thanks for the tip.

Honestly, I'm a little overextended on budget right now as I also pulled trigger on new wheels meaning tires are also needed. Do you think I should put the extra effort for camber plates now considering this is only a street car with minimal drop?

 

[Jonyxz]

You can probably just get away with camber bolts. Plates are a better solution but bolts do the trick well for street use.

Those J&M look really good and are not very expensive. Does the 4th bolt require any cutting on the strut tower?

 

[Jonyxz]

Nope, that stud is for the independent caster adjustment. If you leave that tight and the other 3 loose, you adjust camber only. If you loosen all 4, you can do caster as well. The hole is already in the tower.

Didnt know our car had so many holes

Checking if there's a vendor offering good shipping rates to PR. Seems like J&M doesnt ship directly to PR.
However, these plate look real good for the price and caster adjustability, thanks again for the tip!

Grabbed a set of Maximum Motorsport Camber Plates from a forum member.
Preferred the J&M indipendent adjustability but budget played a mayor role...
Just hope MM are easily adjustable and dont add much NVH
