Z4M: Max negative front camber on H&R springs?

GP20 · 08-11-2014, 07:58 PM

I swear I did a search and didn't find this particular information that I need.

Thinking about putting H&R springs on my Z4M. Does anyone know what's the max negative front camber without buying the camber shims? I'm shooting for -1.9 ~ -2.0.

Thanks!

I am running h&r springs and before getting the shims the most camber I got was 1.6 and 1.7, no more.

It's been a while since I ran springs, but IIRC you should get in the neighbourhood of -1.7 with pins pulled

Ahhh that's awesome! Thanks for the quick replies!

Going to have to order the Turner camber shim kit then.

Hi, I ran the H&Rs on my Z4MC, didn't bother with pulling the top pins, (kept it looking standard), just used good quality washers and new longer high tensile 12.9 bolts. This is a DIY job if you take your time, and one of the cheapest mods to do! I ran 2 degrees neg and it was good for road and track. You have to get the steering tracking done after you install the shims/washers. One word of caution, clean the threads out on the upright with a tap to get rid of any rust, or the new longer bolts will jam up without seating properly. Quite amazed to see that, but true! Probably not applicable to hotter drier states, but check anyway.
Cheers
