How to get more front negative camber

I have a stock suspension and I'm not going to lower or add springs for a while, but I would like to see if I can get a bit more front end bite for cornering. I just took my car for an alignment and told them to max out the front camber as negative as it would go. Well, there's not much adjustment. The left front was -0.5 to start and the right was -1.2. No adjustment left on the right wheel (more negative that is) and the left we got to -1.00.

Are there camber plates available for the M3 yet? Any that work with stock suspension? Finally, how much more noise will I have to tolerate?

What are you trying to achieve? Do you take your car to the track? There are different levels of adjustment you can do as listed below, from no cost/small adjustments to major part replacements.

1. You can try pulling the pins from the stock guide supports. This will give you some play on the position of the guide support and create more negative camber.

2. You can add camber plates (the sheet metal kind) that work with your stock guide support and provide more negative camber.



3. You can add adjustable camber/caster "kits" that completely replaces the stock guide supports, but I believe you may need to make modifications to the springs and struts as well.



Again, it all depends on your goals. If you are just driving on the street, 1 & 2 together will be more than enough.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer. Yes, this is for a bit more fun at the track. Who are the suppliers of the sheet metal solution? Not looking to get too radical yet. Just wanting to try something in the -1.5 to -2.0 neg camber range. I've run up to -2.5 on other cars but I'm not convinced the M3 needs huge negative camber at least when everything else is stock.

Can someone show pics or movie for # 1, please ?
