    Anyone running these Camber plates with Ohlin R/T? E46 M3

    I've been running stock top hats with my Ohlins, and would like to get camber plates to get that added adjustability and get my alignment just right.
    I've done tons of research and get confused with this talk about stack height and such with the Vorshlag plates, and how they are brutal on the strut towers... I tried looking at ground control and TMS Camber plates as well, but i'm not sure what spring diameter my Stock ohlin springs are.
    So my main question is, is anyone running OHLIN Brand camber plates? I saw them on 3DM Motorsport right here: https://3dmmotorsport.com/collection...-caster-plates

    The part numbers match on ohlins website, but I want to see how much camber I can actually get with these. So is anyone running them? How are they? How long have you ran them?
    I cant seem to find these for sale anywhere else except 3DM motorsport. Any help is appreciated!​

    I've been pretty frustrated on this topic because i see obi talking about adjusting height based on bump/droop travel or something, and it does not really make sense to me, and then the fact that you need some spacer from 3dm because with aftermarket camber plates it makes the shock sit higher which makes the car sit even lower? 13f and 13.5r imo is not low enough to give this car a nice aggressive stance... im about to just sell these ohlins and buy Fortune Autos or something. something that comes with camber plates...

    Those are Vorshlag camber plates anodized yellow. I asked about them when I was speaking to Barry at 3DM last week.

      The Ohlins fronts do not have a lot of travel, actually very little. So for the suspension to perform properly you kind of need to use everything available.

      If you use camber plates that aren’t as tall as stock or where the shock mounts further upwards you need a spacer like the one sold by 3DM to get the Ohlins in range again so they can perform as originally intended, otherwise the car will be way too low.

      It seems like the choice you have to make is do you care more about performance or esthetics.

        I've been strongly considering the Ohlins R&T also but initial install / configuration / set-up seems more "fussy" than other options. The need for 3DM spacer seems janky. As first time coil over buyer/installer should I shy away from Ohlins first time around?

          Do it right the first time and get something good. For a street car, consider PSS10s, TCKs, and Ohlins.

          3DM sells a ready to run kit that’s pre-assembled and just needs to be installed and dialed in. TCK also sells complete kits that just need to be installed and dialed in. I don’t think anyone offers PSS10s as a pre-assembled/ready to run kit.
