Hi,
I have an unusual question.

Background: 2006 R53 JCW. Car has upgraded shocks and springs (Sachs and Eibach) which are non height adjustable. As a result the car runs lower than stock and therefore has more negative camber in the back than I would like.
As it is a 06 it has the adjustable camber bolts, however I don't think these will have enough adjustment.
I do not want to run adjustable camber arms as due to my local laws ...I would have to spend several hundred dollars to get them approved ()

Question: does anyone know if there are any other eccentric camber bolt mechanisms, perhaps from the R56, BMW or aftermarket that would fit and offer more adjustment? (Eccentric bolt mechanisms do not require approval)

Its along shot but thought id ask just in case.

 

Looks like the limitation is the slot in the suspension and not the size of "cam" part of the eccentric adjuster:

 

Don't understand...

You can lower the car with aftermarket parts...and where you live says that's "ok".
But you cannot use aftermarket parts to "repair" the camber adjustment..?

Makes no sense.

I know! Some things are ok...like non height adjustable shocks (so long as ride height is greater than 4in)...but others arn't like adjustable camber arms
​​arms...which in this case would be used to return camber back to original specs. Makes no sense

 

Ok...how about this.
Can you modify the stock arms into adjustable arms ?
I can think of one fairly simple (somewhat easy !) way to make the stock arms adjustable for length. Actually not at all unlike the adjustable aftermarket bars. With some thinking, maybe other solid ideas out there.
Unless the inspector is really knowledgeable, you might even be able to sneak it past them..!

See your PM.
