These front adjustable camber/caster plates will replace your stock front upper strut bearing. The KMAC plates are a 'floating' design so camber and caster are adjusted together. This design allows maximum range of adjustment since no other hardware interferes with the adjustments. Since these replace your stock strut bearings they are designed to work with a stock-type spring only. And when installed correctly will not significantly alter ride height. Adjustment is easily done by loosening the three nuts on top of the tower and sliding the camber plate into the position you want, then re-tighten the nuts. These mounts can be installed two ways - for camber correction or swapped side-side for increasing negative camber. Detailed instructions included.

Note: suspensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Turner Motorsport cannot be responsible for fitment issues caused by non-stock or specialized coil-over suspensions. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.

These bushings replace the stock rubber bushings and offer a better driving feel, increased lifespan, and better wheel alignment.

Rubber bushing allow for a lot more movement and are more susceptible to wear and tear from spirited driving and harsh weather conditions. Polyurethane is much more resistant to wear and is stiffer, reducing the total amount of movement that would normally affect the alignment negatively.

Location: Front
Type: Street/Track, Stage 2
Bearings: main PTFE-lined pillow-ball bearing suspended in polyurethane; self-lubricating radial axial bearing/bushing in upper spring plate
Springs: includes OEM size upper spring perch, 60mm upper spring perch, and 2.5" upper spring perch

The Stage 2 KMAC plates are a mixed track and street camber/caster plate meant to be used in a variety of suspensions and setups. Since there is less bushing than on the Stage 1, more noise and vibration will reach the driver. The adjustment design is similar to the Stage 1 with a floating mount that sets camber and caster simultaneously. This design allows maximum range of adjustment since no other hardware interferes with the adjustments. These plates can work on both coil over and stock-stype suspensions and upper spring perches are included for OEM springs, 60mm, and 2.5" coil over springs. The upper perch assembly incorporate a self-sliding radial bushing that allows the spring to spin during its travel instead of bind. This reduces tension on the spring and helps reduce noise and spring 'popping' noises. Bearing inserts, spacers for correct articulating angles, and 3 sizes of upper nut adapters included. The urethane bushings and bearings are replaceable if they wear out. These are designed mainly for adding negative camber for improved handling and not for camber correction back to stock settings (see Stage 1 kit). Basic instructions included but professional installation is required.

Note: suspensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The proper stacked height and clearances are required. K-Mac includes bearing adapters, spacers, and various top nuts but it is still the responsibility of the installer to ensure a correct and safe fitment. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.

Bearing: PTFE-lined pillow-ball, no bushing

KMAC Stage 3 camber/caster plates are designed for track or race-only situations where comfort and noise are not the primary concerns. The Stage 3 camber plates use a pillowball bearing, solidly mounted within the camber plate for direct alignment of the strut shaft and no excess play or deflection. Stage 3 are designed to increase negative camber with their patented 'floating' adjustment that changes camber and caster together. This design allows maximum range of adjustment since no other hardware interferes with the adjustments. Fitment is limited to race-only small diameter coil-over springs (not stock-type). Bearing inserts and adapters included. Detailed instructions included.

Note: suspensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Turner Motorsport cannot be responsible for fitment issues caused by non-stock or specialized coil-over suspensions. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.

BUY A PAIR FOR THE PRICE OF FACTORY SINGLE! 

The rear springs on the 1999-2005 E46 323i 325i 328i and 330i models have a chronic broken spring problem. If it hasn't happened to you yet it will. Springs are nothing more than exposed steel and they rust easily. After a while a section of the spring actually breaks off.

A broken spring is very dangerous - the spring is no longer mounted correctly in the suspension and it cannot support the weight of the car, especially when cornering. The ride also suffers as the suspension is no longer able to absorb the bumps and impacts from the road. Aside from a visual inspection of the spring itself you might notice a clunking sound or banging noise coming from the front or rear. An inspection of the noise should also include other related items in the suspension: bushings, ball joints, links, mounts, etc. We also recommend replacing the rubber spring pads on the top and bottom of the spring because they lose their shape over time. Check if your car has 5mm or 15mm thick pads.

The factory BMW springs sell for $140+ each. We sold and replaced enough while working in New England that we were able to get a strong grasp of the issue and come up with our own springs that are an improvement over the factory springs in every way. These springs are made in Germany using high grade spring steel that is then shot-peened for longer life and powder-coated for protection. These are the same height as the stock replacement BMW springs which makes them a direct replacement.

Sold only as a pair.

This item fits the following BMWs:

Designed and built in-house at BMW Motorsport, these are stock rear camber arms from the E36 M3 that have been strengthened by welding a reinforment in between the wishbones. Stiffer than the stock units and still adjustable for camber. This arm is legal in many racing classes where an aftermarket arm is not permitted. Sold individually, two required per car.

For maximum adjustment solid aluminum camber arms, you may also want to check out our TMS E36/E46 Adjustable Rear Camber Arms .

This arm does not include a bushing, but you may choose add a bushing using the drop down below. For an additional charge, you can get the bushing pre-pressed into the arm, so it is ready to install on the car (no added shop time or hydraulic press required).

Sold Individually.
