M3 Front Control Arm Upgrade

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would share, so a popular suspension mod on an E8x for more camber and a better bushing as non m is rubber and this is a ball joint, the pic below is the difference in length, this intern will last longer and improve grip and response

FYI the E9x (3er) and E8x (1er) share quite a lot of parts on the suspension

Hope someone found this useful

Cheers

The ///M stuff looks alot beefier!

What kind of camber can you dial in using these on an E9x?

Sorry read properly now additional -0.75 so around -2.75 then...

Anyone tried using camber plates instead?

I have these with custom made camber plates

From what I understand camber plates give a rougher ride and it is possible for them to move positions without you noticing

These are myne - stage 1 bought them from this guy

Not sure about camber plates giving a rougher ride as I run on some stiff coil overs, but i can vouch that Turner camber plates do not move position.

I run Turner Motorsport Camber plates up front and Turner Camber bars at the back.

Car is dialed in at -3.5 front and -2.5 at the rear and each time I go back for alignment (say once a year), they are almost exactly how I left them, give or take a few decimals... so -3.52 or -3.47.
