Turner Adjustable Camber Plates - Race - E46 Non-M

Product Details

These are the NM version of our Turner Camber Plates used on our Championship-winning E46 M3 race cars. These plates adjust camber and caster and have a lot of important motorsport-developed features that other camber kits do not. These were a clean-sheet design when we raced the E46 M3 for five seasons in the Grand-Am/IMSA GS class.

Design Highlights:

• preserves the correct E46 NM geometry
• separate sliding camber and caster adjustments
• maximum shock travel
• light weight
• durable materials
• large surface area
• ease of use

The Turner E46 NM Race Camber Plates are the most advanced design on the market. These are designed specifically for the E46 NM - no shortcuts or cookie-cutter components. We started with a fresh design to make these very user friendly and easy to install and set up. The E46 NM front suspension has unique geometry and the strut is mounted at an angle that can put significant side loading on the strut shaft if it's not located properly. The location and angles for the main bearing were carefully engineered to allow the proper motion ratio and strut angles during adjustment. This greatly reduces bending forces on the strut itself which improves performance and longevity. By designing for one chassis we're able to focus on what works best in that application - proper fitment and operation without unnecessary adapters, easy-to-use camber and caster adjustments, and an intelligent modular design.

Another important feature of the Turner Camber Plates is the size of the upper plate. Our plates have a very large surface area to better spread strut forces through the strut tower. A smaller upper plate, like those found on competitor's kits, will localize strut forces and contribute to strut tower deformation ('strut tower mushrooming'). This is a very important feature especially as these cars get older and spend more time on the track. Deformed strut towers are a serious performance and safety concern and our camber plates are properly designed to handle the loads. The factory strut reinforcement plates are not required with our camber plates (but you can use them if you want to).

We include a hardware kit for use with 16mm strut shafts, as well as a square or tapered seat; no additional sleeves or bearing adapters required. Only a small stainless steel spacer and the upper spring hats from your coil over kit are all that's required to install. We also produce the upper spring plates if you need them (see Additional Items below). We have tested our camber plates with most of the major strut manufacturers on the market - AST, Koni Motorsport, Moton, Ohlins, MCS, Bilstein, and KW. Just choose what size spring ID you have.

There are four upper spring hat options with our Race Camber Plates:  Our Camber Plates come with a hardware kit to work with 16mm shock stems, as well as tapered or square seat shock shaft. ​

• OE Style stock-sized springs;
• 60mm I.D. coil over racing spring; 
• 2.25" I.D. coil over racing spring; 
• ​2.50" I.D. coil over racing spring; 

​Features Include: 

• Estimated Camber Adjustment Range: 3+ degrees without removing strut from the vehicle (with small ID race springs, will be less with factory diameter spring.)
• Estimated Caster adjustment range: 2.5+ degrees without removing strut from the vehicle
• Maintains stock ride height (stack height)
• Shock Pin position is 32mm higher in the chassis for improved shock travel and reduced potential for bottoming out on lowered cars
• Compatible with race springs only 
• Compatible with OE bump stop
• FK FKSSX12T Maintenance free, PTFE lined, stainless steel spherical bearing/monoball for full shaft articulation
• Bearing utilizes lower and upper seals to prevent moisture and debris contamination for greatly improved bearing life
• All shock pins on offered shock configurations for E46NM are 16MM with either a tapered or square seat.

The price for the camber plates does not include upper spring hats.
