Nearly every car manufactured in the modern era carries a dark secret – fully-adjustable suspension has been all but eliminated in the name of cost-cutting and assembly-line efficiency. What this means for you is increased tire wear and more frequent replacement, as a “full alignment” consists only of rudimentary toe-angle adjustment. For over forty years, K-MAC has been hard at work developing a solution to this problem with patented innovations in camber/caster plates and bushing kits, allowing easy adjustment and a true “full four-wheel alignment” to be performed by any competent shop. These bushings make camber adjustments possible for the first time, and improve the ability to complete toe angle adjustments. When used in conjunction with the K-MAC Camber and Toe kit and Rear Adjustable Trailing Arms allows full adjustability of the 5 multi-link rear arms and positive location. Bolt-on installation – insertion/extraction tube included! Easily adjusted on the car with basic hand tools Unique failsafe locking hardware – set & forget! High quality elastomer compound resists binding Hardened & nickel-chrome plated centers for maximum bushing life 2x the load area of stock bushings Spiral grease grooves

KMAC camber/caster plates use a patented adjustment method designed for easy and rapid alignment adjustments. The KMAC design has a 'floating' inner camber plate, rather than slotted, to allow camber and caster to be adjusted together. To adjust, simply loosen the top three nuts on the strut tower and position the KMAC mount to match your desired alignment settings. The KMAC design allows more camber and caster adjustment because separate caster hardware is eliminated. While primarily designed to increase negative camber for track use these can also be used to fix alignment issues that cause uneven tire wear or unwanted handling behavior.
KMAC camber kits are the most complete kits on the market, with all of the common spring perch options and strut hardware included. The OEM size spring perch as well as 60mm and 2.5" spring isolators are included which makes it easy to upgrade from stock struts to coil overs without having to buy new camber plates. Or swap springs on your coil overs between 60mm and 2.5" without buying additional upper perches. Also included are the most common strut pin hardware - 14mm lower bearing adapters and 12x1.5, 12x1.75, and 14x1.5 top nuts. This takes the guesswork out of ordering the correct hardware for your strut type. The urethane main bushing is also replaceable and the camber plate parts are made from 7075-grade aluminum for a lifetime of camber plate use.
Fitment Note 1: replaces factory BMW strut mount with 3 mounting bolts (up to 12/2014 prodution). Not for cars with 5-bolt strut mounts.
Fitment Note 2: 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. Basic instructions are included but professional installation is required. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.
