Curious why you're running OE front strut tower reinforcement plates with the GC camber plates, since they already come with their own reinforcement plates?

I will try to get a screenshot from the video I took while doing the Ohlins 3dmmotorsport spacer install, the surface area of GC camber plates is tiny. Unless yours came with something mine did not, I'd recommend using the reinforcement plates.

How do you like ME20 and what have you run before them? I am swapping them (I think they rebranded as CC40) into my S2K after baking EBC red in the canyons. Don't see too many BMW guys with them as Endless seem to be more prominent in JDM scene.

Let you know after this weekend, just installed them today. Previously I’ve run Hawk DTC-70/60, PF01, Carbotech XP12/10, Project Mu CR, CL RC6, and a bunch of others, but all on different cars.
