New Product: Vorshlag camber plates for BMW 1M/M3 with OEM springs

[Fair!]

If you are tracking your BMW E9x M3 or E82 1M on the stock suspension or even with a KW V3 set-up using the stock top mounts, you are most likely tearing up the outside edge of the front tires at an alarming rate. Many of you have been patiently waiting for us to complete our Vorshlag camber plate + OEM upper spring perch solution for this chassis. Well good news! The prototype testing is over and a production run of the billet aluminum spring perches has finally been machined and anodized. You can order a set of these plates and perches right from our website today.



After a few months of street and track testing on a 1M, then our inspection and feedback, we made a small design tweak to the production version of our E9x M3/E82 1M OEM spring perches. Using these components on a stock ride height 1M, we were able to see a maximum of -2.8° front camber on our tester's car - with a lower ride height the maximum negative camber number only gets better. This car has a -2.5° camber setting, for dual purpose street & track setting without having to make any changes.



We released the final pricing at $529, and have already sold 10 sets in the first 24 hours. This is the most expensive (to make) OEM perch we have produced to date. It starts out as a big chunk of billet aluminum that is 100% CNC machined on every surface, anodized, then our bearings and spool adapters are pressed into place. Every set is custom built to order and everything is made in the USA. Not only do they look stunning, but they work great as well.



Our E9x M3/E82 1M OEM perch + camber plate design is unique in several ways. First, our perch is made to re-use the OEM rubber spring isolator (with minor trimming for best fitment), which you can peel off of the OEM top mount. This slips snugly over the Vorshlag upper spring perch, so there is no perch to spring metal-to-metal contact. Next, this new perch + camber plate assembly keeps the same stack-up and front ride height as the OEM top mount, so it won't raise or lower your car. Last and most importantly, the camber plate can articulate fully along the spherical without any rubbing, banging or clanging - nothing but silent use over a long life. We get that long life from our camber plate designs by always using our unique, sealed, double row radial bearing pressed into the upper perch and our giant spherical bearing in the camber plate - both of which are unique parts to the Vorshlag design.



So far we have the data and perch component set-up for the E82 1M factory strut and the KW V3 strut for the 1M and E9x M3, which also uses our OEM style upper spring perch. As soon as we confirm the strut pin measurements for the E9x M3 OEM EDC and non-EDC struts, we will add that as an option to our website. Anyone with this car/strut can contact us for instructions on the measurements we need. If any of this sounds like the camber plate solution you need, it is available today from Vorshlag.

Thanks,
