Camber Plates/Kit

[paul540/m3]

I just have a couple quick questions. Firstly if i were to drop my 540 2-ish inches would i need a camber kit in the front as well as the back? or more so in the front? back? Also, if i install a front camber kit will I still be able to have a front strut tower brace? :help

thanks in advance

do u mean to say, will the camber change when u lower your car?

lowering a e34 adds negative camber in the rear, and not much up front

not sure if the same applies to the e39
but u do want negative camber for handling,
for tire wear its not as good

I mean will i need to get a camber kit so i wont be going through tires every week lol
In order to keep itclose to factory specs, I guess thats what im trying to say

depending of course on the tire u get you should be fine...
unless u go silly low.... =]

Thanks for your help Bahnstormer
I'm going to be runing a 245/35/19 all around on a 19x9 rim. Silly low meaning more than 2 inches?

Can any E39 guys chime in here?

okay, i'll chime.

no camber plates for the rear. you can easily stay within stock specs back there. the front you should still be able to make factory specs. i'm not 100% sure about this because i have camber plates (k-mac) installed so i don't have this issue. i'm pretty sure you don't need them but i have them installed to dial out some of that negative tire killling camber.
