Can anyone recommend any camber adjustment top mounts for the E30?

I've got a set of Uwe's adjustable mounts that I'm not using if you want them.

Nice and easy to adjust for road to track.

I changed to using Ground Control ones as I can change the castor with them and they give more spring clearance on my coilovers as they are spherical bearings.

I've gone to these now as they give me more camber and also change caster. More fiddly to change and would be a bit harsh for a road car. Also a bit noisy from the springs as the spring hat articulates on a needle bearing. Drive you mad on the way to the shops!

Shorty73,
I've just tried that link to Uwe and got lost! Can you help please? Also, where do you get the Ground Control one's?
Just about to start the build of a racer and spotted this thread so started to follow it.
Regards
Keith.

I got mine from CA automotive but you can get them direct from Ground Control in the states. Should find them if you google it.

I'll ty and find another link to Uwe's ones or a picture of them.

What are you building?

The ground control items are very good indeed.
I have used them before on other vehicles to good effect.
