Camber plates

As anyone got any good options for camber plates to fit KWv3s?

Front camber can be adjusted by adding washers between the strut and the hub

Give me a min and I will find a picture
 
If you go to a friendly tracking centre you can fit one then two then 3 washers and measure the camber and then adjust at home you just need two new bolts a little longer they are standard bolts 8.8 or 10.9 so easy to get hold of. 10.9 in my picture so you want 10.9 bolts
 
I have BC coilovers with rubber top mounts, thus no extra camber adjustment, only the tower slots. I did a few tests with spacing the strut out and settled on a 5mm spacer and longer bolts. That gives me -2.2 to -2.8° of front camber adjustment.

Running around -2° of front camber cured my confidence issues on the front end for fast road driving. Running maximum negative camber did make the front end really nice, but braking was noticeably worse and the handling was really unbalanced (rear grip couldn't keep up).

I went for ground control camber plates on kwv3 coilovers last year and they are great however I had to order a seperate spring plate for the v3s and maybe 2 months ago I saw that millway motorsport have released a camber plate for the Z4M which wasn’t available last year when I ordered my parts, millway product that I’ve purchased have been exceptional quality to this point and lots of shops recommend them over everything else
