    while here are some camber plate option. I like the Ground Control ones, but they are pricey.

    Thanks again Kriss. Does the OEM camber plate often wear out on a daily driver that doesn't see track time? Those Ground Control ones are works of art, unfortunately they are priced accordingly.

    When I did my complete front end earlier this year, I used Ebay packages to price, and BMA matched their price pretty close with all Lemforder...

    I did upper and lower thrust arms, drag links and tie rods. I also at that time did the m5 sways front and rear with new sway links from BMA.

    Call Patrick or Yves and see if they will come close in price match....Doesn't hurt to ask...

    Whitney, what do you think of the M5 sways? Did it significantly increase NVH?
