you should get some m3 bits and then after that get it all done at once so you can get around -1.5-7

You can't roll the front fenders on an E92...they're made of plastic.

Very nice. Do you have pics of the total.?

Smoked pinkers oem?

This might be a dumb question so I apologize in advance...

I had to put in some 10mm spacers in front on my E92 to allow me to lower the front to where I wanted it. I am running the ST coilovers and without the spacer the wheel hit the strut on the inside of the wheel.

If I try to get negative camber up front to give me more room on the fender side to reduce rubbing, will it close the gap on the inside of the wheel towards the strut and make me rub there again?

The reason I ask is because I have only about 1.5mm of room between the strut and the wheel on the inside.

OP- Car looks great man!

cambering the front has no relation to the inner clearance on a macpherson setup. all you need is 1mm of gap between it. the rear multi link is the scenario youre describing.

Sweet, I am just learning all of this stuff but after reading this and then looking at my suspension just now I see what you mean.
Thanks for the reply #Tee
