I have a spare rear beam that I want to modify to give adjustable camber/toe. I've had a look for a kit but can't find one in the UK and they are quite dear so I thought I'd make my own. I've read that I need the eccentric bolts and washers from an e39. Is this right? I'm sure I've also read that they are not quite the right length. Some advise please, cos the bits are over 50 quid from BMW and I don't want to get the wrong ones.

Driftwood, if you check out any of the SpecE30 suppliers in the US most will have an eccentric adjuster kit that you can weld onto the subframe.

Ireland Engineering now do one that has serrated mounting plates so they can't move out of alignment once tightened.

I seen these, my thoughts are, the serrated parts are not fine enough for that precise tweak. But on the flip side you dont have to worry about them moving.
