Camber plates for F56

Who has them and what are my options? I spoke to Ways motor works and Vorshlag, apparently their F56 specific camber plates are still months out. Kmac from ECS appears to be the only option currently available. (Aside from junk eBay ones)

Anyone running the Kmac’s and can share their experience? Are there other options available I’m not aware of?

I would recommend the K-MAC, but caution you to ensure you get the newer spec.

Kevin may be reached here: 'sales@k-mac.com'.

The story of the "newer spec" may be found here.

Kind regards,

Charlie

Contact me should you wish any further information.

Do please attend however, when shipping a K-MAC camber plate product with the older 12 mm center bore. Were I you, I would avoid that.

Cheers,

Charlie

Charlie after reading your thread among other things about K-mac's it is making me hesitant to order them. Maybe I will just be patient and wait for Vorshlags offering. I run their engine and trans mounts for my LS swap car and they are high quality pieces.

The Vorshlags still aren't finished yet? I figured since WMW has had them listed since I first started looking over a year ago and given the age of that other camber plate thread they'd have been brought to market. I know BC Racing makes some as well as D2 Racing.

Having endured a setback, as described in the referred thread, I would strongly recommend that you do use them, as follows.

1. Send an email request to sales@ecstuning,com, and ask them to confirm availability of the revised spec v2 plates for the F56.
2. Copy sales@k-mac.com, so that Kevin down in Sydney AU can read your correspondence on this topic
3. Expect success, although it might take a month to reach it - as Kevin and ECS Tuning will need time to grasp the opportunity your inquiry will create

My reasons are as follows:
1. the issue I encountered arose from a single dimension error, which is now clearly understood and agreed upon
2. with the corrected ID on the center-plate, the crew at MoP were quite happy fitting the JCW Pro Coil-overs using the K-MAC Stage 2 plates
3. since the revision, the front end has been silent and solid
4. I'm wearing an alignment that features -2.1 degrees of camber out front, which transforms the car - turn in, ultimate grip, and tire wear are all greatly improved

I think Kevin does a good job of standing behind his product, and I have no qualms keeping the Stage 2 plates going forward.

Cheers,

Charlie
