Vorshlag E46 M3 Camber/Caster Plates & Perches 1999-2005

Vorshlag Camber/Caster Plates, M3 1999-2005

More positive camber adjustment range (still with tons of negative, too) for lowered street driven E46 M3 cars ONLY. These camber plates are for E46 M3 and Z4M chassis cars only, as they allow for the proper camber range to work with the different spindle of these cars. All E46 non-M and Z4 owners should buy the E46 non-M specific plates. Featuring CNC construction for the bearing holder and main plate, including engraved: hash marks for adjustment, side and front markings, and the snazzy Vorshlag "VM" logo. Perfect for street or track use on the BMW E46 M3 and Z4M chassis.

Easily adjust camber trackside with Vorshlag camber/caster plates. Oversized spherical bearings are designed to withstand the rigors of street and track abuse. All components are plated for maximum corrosion resistance and long life.

In order to properly use Vorshlag camber plates, you must choose spring perches that match your strut brand and spring type. Vorshlag camber/caster plates are designed to be compatible with 2.5”, 2.25" and 60mm “coilover” style springs, OEM style springs, and all strut types.

These are a special order part. They are specifically made to your specifications. They will ship as soon as Vorshlag completes production of your specific order.

• Compatible with 2.5" and 60 mm coilover springs and all struts.
• Works ONLY with M cars
• Installs with basic hand tools, no chassis modifications required.
• Plates are designed specifically for BMW E46 M3 chassis and the Z4M.
• Caster & Camber are independently adjustable.
• Approximate front camber range is 0° to -3.5°, depending on ride height and spring diameter
• Camber is easily adjustable at the track from the engine compartment with simple (metric) hand tools. No need to reach inside the wheel well with a wrench!
• The spherical bearing used in the Vorshlag camber plate is the largest used in any BMW camber plate. The result is a spherical bearing with considerably better durability and wear characteristics than the undersized bearings used in our competitors plates.
• Designed for maximum suspension bump travel / minimum stack-up height. More than an inch more strut travel than some of our competitors!
• Coilover perches can use the Vorshlag Race bearings for 5mm less stack-up, for even more suspension travel
• Alloy steel bearing holder - Tough as a German Tank!
• Aluminum alloy main plate for lighter weight, engraved and fully anodized
• All components plated or anodized for maximum corrosion resistance and long life.
• Vorshlag Upper spring perches required. Coilover perches included in the basic price, but OEM style perches are extra (see "Spring Perch" drop down option menu, at top of page).

Spring Perches: Please pick the spring perch diameter that works with the springs you have. Coilover springs typically come in one of three diameters: 2.25", 60mm and 2.5". Ground Control coilovers are supplied with 2.5" dia and TCKline supplied coilovers are 60mm dia springs. KWs coilovers tend to be 60mm but some of these and some Bilstein PSS series coilovers use the OEM upper perch (a tapered spring - see pics below). Z4 non-M's using stock style springs need to select the E36 non-M OEM Perch, while Z4 M's need to select the E46 M3 OEM Perch.

Strut Style: Please pick your strut brand and sizes from the drop down at the top of the page. This helps us build the spring perches to fit your struts with a tight tolerance and no slop - for quiet, reliable use. If you do not know what struts you have please have a reputable BMW shop inspect them, as most mechanics can spot the differences with a quick look. There are also new struts and updates to existing models that come out from time to time. If your strut is not listed, please pick the "Other" option and let us know what brand and model struts you have in the order notes. Note: Koni makes struts for some BMWs with both tapered and square shaft shoulder transitions, so if you have Koni struts please inspect your struts before ordering (or let us know when and where they were purchased, which helps us determine what style to build for). Also see our BMW Spring & Strut Tech Guide for more information.

NOTE: For Z4M owners who will be running their OEM struts with these camber plates, we must know the diameter of the OEM top nut on your car. BMW uses two different struts (with different shaft profiles) on the Z4M and the build date for the change-over varies wildly. If you don't check, be prepared to do the installation twice. If you have an M14 strut top nut (22mm wrench across the flats), select the "OEM Z4M Struts (22/16T/14)" Strut Style, and if you have an M16 strut top nut (24mm wrench across the flats), select the "OEM Z4M Struts (22/16SQ/16)" Strut Style.
