As I understand it all I need to do to get camber on the rear of my E30 is lower it, but the front could use some too. Is an adjustable top mount the only thing I can do or is there some other trickery to get the same effect?

The cheapest way is with some plates similar to the ones Uwe used to make

But you will soon want more

If you dont want adjustablity just fixed camber then you can just adjust standard ones by removing the studs welding some metal on the outer, removing some from the inner and redrilling

I know, I know, need to make some more. I am just so tied up with other stuff.DanThe wrote:No those are what Uwe used to make
I also developed some solid mounts which won't rattle over time
(ask Jhonno) in the same style as my rubber type.
As soon time allows I will start production. Just don't hold your breath

I've ordered some rpm front top mounts to see if it cures my chronic understeer, be testing them on track next week. I'll do a write up and some pics if I remember!

Just ordered and put on RPM's topmounts to see if the understeer is improved as well.
I'll report back after my race @ Cadwell tomorrow.

I can report back.
My first appearance at Cadwell was 1 year ago, and we ended up doing the 30 min qualifying and 3 laps of the race before the engine died.
This time I completed both qualifying and the race.
For information my laps times were around 6s quicker than 1 year ago.
The car has much less understeer and feels smoother. As well as having the top mounts I also bought a set of team Dynamics wheels and a new set of Toyos, plus a replacement chip bought here a couple of months ago.
The car is now becoming competitive.

Great stuff. It is always very statisfying to slash seconds off your PB after modifications (money well spent).

Cheers,
Michael.
