These are the IE adjustable camber plates installed in my '87 325is. It appears the only adjustment available is to remove the allen heads and move the plate to a different position.
I've read that others are only using two allen bolts to allow for greater range of movement. I'd like to keep four if possible.
With the sport shocks installed with the H&R race springs, I was surprised to see the spring not under compression with the upper spring perch installed. Has anyone had difficulties keeping the spring seated correctly when jacking the vehicle?
Before installing the camber plate above, this is what was available for the installation. The camber plate came with the two plates, 3 washers with matching nuts, and 4 larger washers. The two zinc coated washers were installed with the factory upper bearing.
Using the stock washer created more room between the camber plate and the upper spring perch, but what have others done?
When installing the camber plate, it looks like there should be a spacer or a group of washers installed on top of the upper spring perch to keep the force of the shock nut from loading the bearing. The 4 washers supplied with the plates do not fit over the non-threaded portion of the shock.
With the plate seated on the upper spring perch, the factory washer could be used or the 4 washers supplied with the plates. Are the four supplied washers to be used as shims?
