Bentley manual says you can get eccentric upper strut mount to change camber of front suspension. Part no. 31 33 1 124 547. Depending which way you fit it, camber changes + or - 30' (1/2 inch)
I have fitted Spax 40mm lowered suspension all round, and am about to fit M3 solid offset control arm bushes to reduce inner tyre edge scrub. Would changing the camber geometry also help with this much lowered suspension, i.e. the tyres obviously 'toe-in' more when lowered 40 mm, so would changing camber put this right?
Any advice gratefully received!! (Anyone know the costs/availability of these ecc. strut mounts?)

ive got the top mounts on mine from mosley motor sport !
i got them off a friend fro 30 Ԛ£ but i think he paid 50ish for them both!
u can see the neg camber
ive also got the 40 mm spax psy kit
u cant use the caps for the reason the adjuster on the top of the strut is too long and it wont cover it
i love this mod and i need the m3 bush for the wishbone next if knew where to get them!
