Camber Eccentric Bolts?

Has anyone tried to use eccentric bolts to adjust front camber?

Something like this

http://www.hrsprings.com/applications/triplec

My BRZ had fixed bolts and I was able to buy the correctly sized eccentric bolts and adjust camber up to -1.7°.


Also saw this thread describing the same procedure on an X5.

Does anyone know what size bolt I would need? Figure at least 2mm narrower than stock

Those wont work on the F30 because the strut doesn't mount to the knuckle in the same way. You'll have to use either an adjustable strut mount, an eccentric bushing on the rear lower control arm, or F80 M3 lower control arms.

BMW also has an alternative hub part number that gains you an additional half degree of negative camber.

I've seen the hub, which seems like an absolutely asinine mod when there are camber plates available. Thanks much for the info about the suspension setup
