E30 Camber top plates - which ones should I buy?!

Post Fri Nov 23, 2012 4:15 pm

Quick question.

I'm by no means a pro when it comes to setting up suspension. My E30 is running on coilovers with some ET0 Rota Grid V's, and I need adjustable camber top plates.

Why would I pay the extra £7 to get the round ones, over the normal style ones?

My Touring has 51mm JOM coilovers, nothing special. I'm not looking for "perfect handling", "extreme stance" or "mega lock for drifts", I just need some normal camber mounts to give me a bit of extra adjustment.

The round ones will give some castor adjustment too

I can't advise you on the difference between them, but I'll say a few things about those top mounts. They're very good for the price, but you really need to get some washers or spacers on the adjusting bolts between the plate that attaches to the turret, and the plate that is attached to the strut. They need doing up relatively tight, as the turret plate just bends due to the gap that occurs when on the car.

Personally I'd spend a bit more and get the RPM top mounts, the quality is second to none

While i agree that the GAZ top mounts will be better quailty, they are more than twice the price. They also have next to no castor ajustment

here you go.

I would still run these on my car however I know use HSD coilovers and the topmounts they come with were pretty much the same.

Went for the cheap ones - no caster adjustment. While I appreciate that the RPM ones are highly regarded, they are still £150 more than these ones. I shall report my findings.
