Stu while we are discussing suspension. Is it possible to install camber plate on stock m-sport suspension? just to dial camber

If you get the M3 front control arms, it gives you more camber as well as increased steering response.
Cheaper than the Camber plates as well! |

Lowering the car also provides camber naturally as well. No it doesn't - bolted right on |

Will eibach springs compromise the comfort of the stock suspension? Does the 335i come equipped that the camber and faster can be adjusted or do I need to buy additional hardware?

I'm leaning towards the Eibach springs for my car. Can't decide on shocks/struts. I'm at 38k miles. Leave the stock ones? Switch to Koni FSD? Koni yellow?

I'm trying to stay below coilover $. And I'm looking to maximize ride quality. I drive about 15k miles a year on these horrifying New England roads.

Yes front camber can be adjusted from factory, albeit not as much as camber plates. Quote:

The more I read the more confused I get.
It seems to me a daily driver is best off with Eibach springs and Bilstein sport shcks/struts. Which ST coilovers compare to that setup? |

I will be putting some Eibach springs on my otherwise stock E90.
Just one question: an Australian advertiser on eBay has suggested that springs for Australian-spec cars are different to US-spec or European-spec cars in order to justify paying a higher price and ordering locally. I wasn't aware BMW spec'd their cars differently for different markets. Myth busted? |

Koni FSD's are only for oem springs, if you want lowered springs you have to get the koni yellows (the FSD's fail if you shorten the strut stroke, hence why they are only for oem springs)
