I want to get some camber plates for my M5 and I've seen several types. First off, I don't want to have to modify anything. I assumed that I was just going to get the non adjustable type but after a bit of searching I found several types of adjustable camber plates where they just bold in.

There's a guy in the Rondel advertising them and on this site: http://theeurodepot.com/camberplates.html

Has anyone tried these adjustable plates?
How do the camber plates affect ride height?

BTW this would be mostly for street use and maybe an occasional AutoX or track day.

I had good luck with the Kmacs. They are the only adjustable ones I am aware of that do not add to the height of the front end. I figure the ones on the Eurodepot page would raise the front by however thick they are, since they stack on top of the stock strut bearing.

I dunno about those carriage bolts -- they look kind of iffy...

You can get metric 8.8 carriage bolts from McMaster-Carr, though.

These plates would affect ride height in that they have to sandwich between the strut mount and the body.

How's the ride with the K-mac? Is it noticably harsher with the urethane?

It looks like Paul Gray makes some camber adjustable strut mounts like K-Mac and of course he says they're better. Anyone have more info on these? They're cheaper too, $275 vs. $370 for K-mac.
