Z4M DONUTS! - Video - What you've all been tempted to do!

Nice video! :thumbsup:

I once managed to dislodge a £1 coin on my E85 that got jammed down by the seat rails by doing a quick donut, seriously! :P

cheap way to gain meaningful camber without the need for top mounts which can lead to added NVH. ( i run these as well as camber plates)



http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-424-front-camber-bolt-kit-e36-z3-z4-m-turner-motorsport.aspx


, combined with the stock scope for adjustment a decent -1.8ish is achievable, this combined with a tweaked alignment and some decent tyres will REALLY combat a decent amount of understeer that is naturally dialled in by bmw to keep the average joe safe, turn in will be improved also.


see.... cheap fix, and so easy to install yourself.


now get ordering, you can pick them up from CA automotive for around 20 quid.

Excellent thank you mate. One question, how will the tyres fair in day to day driving with that much camber?

Not to bad if your a spirited driver...

let me give you an example..

i run -2.7! the wheel is visually slanted to combat outer shoulder wear i experience on the sprint circuits, the wear is even with all that camber that combined with the normal driving i do also i get a dead even tyre wear... obviously i understand your car won't see what my car see's BUT, don't dial in that much camber, the shims have 3 levels of adjustment by using a certain amount of the shim washers provided.

Right that's good enough for me, I'll get some ordered :)
 
report back once installed... if yo don't want to align, mark the top 3 bolts so you can set them back to the exact position, and add 2 of the washer shims on the bottom as per the instructions ( very clear) and enjoy the benefits!!

look forward to hearing from you on this....

Will do thanks :)
Need to get some new front tyres when I can too. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2?

Edit: Those $15 Camber shims carry a $50 shipping charge!! Won't be ordering those just yet unless there's a UK supplier :s
