Working on my stance. Recently installed an airlift system, got new wheels delivered yesterday. Tons of work ahead to make these work. Pictures are of the car aired out

Yeah got them from my buddy Roman, who had a few nice builds over at stanceworks.

The wheels are RH ZW4 18" 5x112 ET 20. Fronts are 18x11.5 ET 20 and rears are 18x12 ET 14. 15mm 5x120 adapters are used to mounted them. The ET listed above dont take into account the 15mm spacer.

Just posted up my stance E92 on the For Sale forum. Go check it out if you are interested.

Almost complete

Anyone have experience modifying coilover camber plates to go with higher neg camber?
or know of a brand that'll go above -4 camber?



Front poke^

I've bought way too many pointless things. But at least the old lady will be happy I won't limit her amount of luggage she takes on trips lol

check with mikem3, he is running more than -4 on airlift struts--think he slotted both the struts and the body.

you can also check with serial9, they have camber plate adaptors.

As far as I know you either slot/modify the suspension towers on the body to move the mounting points further in or you can get plates that offset the mounting further in but if you're maxed out with height adjustment they'll add a bit of height.

Try burning your eyes out. That might work.

Thanks guys, I will Call Serial nine to see if their adaptor works with Fortune auto coilovers and if its safe to drift with them and track.

have you guys seen any pics on how to slot the body?

[Digitalize]

If you're going to slot the strut towers I'd slot them as far as you can, get the car aligned so you're happy with the camber and then weld a plate on top that makes the slots round holes again locking the strut in the max position, then using the top mounts camber adjustment to change it, especially if you're using it for drifting.

Either way after slotting the strut towers I'd want to weld in a reinforcement plate.

Thanks for all the help, do you know of any pictures showing what it looks like? I still have a hard time picturing it since the top of the tower is round.. lol

Something like this -



That's probably a relatively small amount of slot, you could go for more, eventually you might need to increase the size of the centre hole as well. If doing that you'll definitely need a re-inforcement plate, but they aren't hard to make or fit so I'd recommend it anyway.

My advice would be to start with a small slot like this and see how it goes, rather than going all out at first.

Problem is that the bolt and nut from the top of the coilover is hitting the edge of the center hole already so I wouldn't be able to move it anywhere, I am going to talk to a fab guy I know to see if he can widen the center hole.

Yeah you'll need to widen the centre hole, then get a strengthening plate made up, ideally with a lip around the centre hole to add more strength against flexing.

I wonder if it would be easier to cut out the entire top and weld in a round plate with new holes. and I could even make the new plate higher up so the entire front end would drop even lower so I could run the coilovers at higher setting and it would ride better, sort of like a reverse drop knuckle effect.

I really appreciate all the replies and help with this, some times this thread seems very self centered and people only care to post their own stuff, it's so much cooler when everyone gets together to help each other out and motivate/push each other to achieve their goals.

You could do that, you shouldn't really need to raise the top mount though unless you're using coilovers that aren't designed to go low, in which case I'd say it would be a better choice to change to some that were than raise the top mount.

I probably wouldn't cut the top off and weld a new plate in when you could just cut the existing tower and weld a strengthening plate on top, just seems like extra work for no real benefit, it would look identical.
