• Compatible with 2.5", 2.25" and 60 mm coilover springs, factory springs (both M3 and base model), and all struts.
• No need to change camber plates when switching from regular springs to coilovers! Some companies sell you two totally different camber plates for coilover springs and factory style springs.
• Installs with basic hand tools, no chassis modifications required.
• Plates are designed specifically for BMW E36.
• Caster & Camber are independently adjustable.
• Camber is easily adjustable at the track from the engine compartment with simple (metric) hand tools. No need to reach inside the wheel well with a wrench!
• The spherical bearing used in the Vorshlag camber plate is the largest used in any BMW camber plate. The result has much better durability and wear characteristics than the undersized bearings used in our competitors plates.
• Designed for maximum suspension bump travel. More than an inch more strut travel than some of our competitors!
• 100% CNC machined, alloy steel construction - Tough as a German Tank!
• All components plated for maximum corrosion resistance and long life.
• Engraved with Vorshlag logo, alignment hash marks, model, and side/front orientation.
• Vorshlag Upper spring perches required; priced separately (see "Spring Perch" drop down option menu, below)
  

Options:

Spring Perches: Please pick the spring perch diameter that works with the springs you have. Coilover springs typically come in one of three diameters: 2.25", 60mm and 2.5". Ground Control coilovers are supplied with 2.5" dia and TCKline supplied coilovers are 60mm dia springs. KWs coilovers tend to be 60mm but some of these and some Bilstein PSS series coilovers use the OEM upper perch (a tapered spring - see pics below). The E36 has 3 different OEM spring diameters and the common "lowering springs" (Eibach or H&R) use the same OEM size upper spring perch, so if you have stock or "lowering" springs choose the OEM perch size based on the year/model car you have. Note: Z3 non-M's using stock style springs need to select the E36 non-M OEM Perch, while Z3 M's need to select the 96-99 E36 M3 OEM Perch.

Radial Bearings: The standard radial bearing is our Double Row Heavy Duty sealed bearing. This is much stronger than the stock radial bearing and what 95% of customers pick for their camber plates, and should last the life of the car. It is extremely over-spec'd and we've never had one returned for repair. There is also an optional Race-duty "short" single row sealed axial bearing that can be used in any Vorshlag upper spring perch (except for Bilstein/Inverted coilover style). The Race bearings replace the double row bearing and are 5mm shorter - effectively reducing stack-up height and adding 5mm more suspension travel (at the same ride height setting). See the pictures below for a graphic illustration of the height difference. It is recommended for race duty only but the OEM perch also had a single row ball bearing in this location. Vorshlag tested this single-row bearing set-up for 2 seasons of race use on an E36 with 285 R compounds and 18x10" wheels. Lots of abuse, good results, more suspension travel. This is just not a bulletproof street duty bearing like the double row.

Strut Style: Please pick your strut brand and sizes from the drop down below. This helps us build the spring perches to fit your struts with a tight tolerance and no slop - for quiet, reliable use. If you do not know what struts you have please have a reputable BMW shop inspect them, as most mechanics can spot the differences with a quick look. There are also new struts and updates to existing models that come out from time to time. If your strut is not listed, please pick the "Other" option and let us know what brand and model struts you have in the order notes. Note: Koni makes struts for some BMWs with both tapered and square shaft shoulder transitions, so if you have Koni struts please inspect your struts before ordering (or let us know when and where they were purchased, which helps Vorshlag determine what style to build for)
