    Default ireland engineering fixed camber plates



    Gives the front of the car a lot better turn in with better grip. it understeers a lot less now and the steering seems a bit heavier. i like heavier.

    Martin is running them, so is stacey and Jeff N has talked about them also.

    Am I missing the point? From the photo you have not altered the static camber but the castor, and reduced it by a significant ammount.have a look at your wheels on full lock.Could be some interesting angles there! This causes the weighting of the steering which is what early M5`s had, but by design not modification.If it works good luck and let us all know where you got the plates/strut tops from.

    the strut gets pushed over, causing negative camber to the wheel. i got them from bma.

    Default Kris' picture is turned 90 degrees...

    The strut moves toward the engine, not fore and aft in the car.
