M3 suspension swap - camber issue

[A4-AHV]

Did the rears, hastle free.

Came to the fronts & the wheels are sitting like this



???

Any ideas? I'm using all e30 M3 parts, it is dropped approx 60 / 70mm on 17's. Camber plates maybe?

seems a bit heavy on the camber, do you know what the actual angle is?

might need a bit more info as to where the parts came from on this one, eccentric bushes in the lolly pops?

[A4-AHV]

not too sure how to measure the angle, lol

Struts, bottom plates, bearings, etc are all new from either BMW, Euro car parts.

The lolly pops (with eccentric bushes), control arms & top mounts are what was on my car already. I cross referenced them with bmw & they are the same for all models including M3?

Looks fine you just need some wider wings

[A4-AHV]

I think it's just down to being lowered. I Just want to make sure before I start rolling the hell out of the wings

[e21Jason]

You do know the track is wider with m3 suspension and the style fives have a lower offset which makes them stick out further.

Think I've found the problem.

The bottom plates are the only second hand part I've used and........

.......the right one (although having the correct part numbers / markings) is acually a left one!!!

Bottom pic is mine & top is what it should be like. How could BMW mess that up?

Interesting, have a look the other side then as you might have them mixed up.
Looks like something that is not easy to spot unless you have them side by side or know what to look for, i bet your not the first person to do this.

[A4-AHV]

I've not mixed them up, they're handed and I've got two lefts.

1 says 349L (last three digits of the part number then car side)
1 says 350R (same as above)

but they are both lefts, as in pic.

blimey, thats a bit odd.

looks like you might have stumbled across a mod for anyone with an m3 who wants a substantial camber increase though
