Which camber plates for Bilstein PSS9 coilovers on 2003 R53?

Hi,

While sitting in my cubicle Friday afternoon, I stumbled upon the last set of Bilstein PSS9 coilovers on Tire Rack listed at a really awesome sale price. My roommate has an E46 M3 on PSS9s, and I have ridden with him, as well as driven the car. Simply fantastic. After a few minutes on the phone with a Tire Rack rep, I impulsively bought them, and they are now on the way.

Right now, My 2003 R53 JCW has TSW springs mounted on JCW shocks (will be up for sale soon), which is an awesome combo, but I like the options that the PSS9 system gives me.

Before I have the coilovers installed, I am thinking about purchasing front camber plates, and have everything put on at the same time.

Should I go fixed, or adjustable, and what are the best brands that will mate the PSS9s without any issues?

(Vorshlag seems to be the best from what I've read)

Thanks for your help.

If your doing coilovers don't go with fixed, you'll never get the camber right. With the PSS9's, either go with the Hsport or Vorshlag Camber plates, We've had great luck with both.
