how to get maximum camber

How is the way to get more camber without putting plates or putting F80 Lca? (I don't want wheel deflection towards the fin)


I do not want annoying noises, I prefer to have less camber, but I would like to increase it more than 0.5 degrees of the powerflex silentblocks

Assuming you don't want camber plates,

There are OEM hub replacements that add 0.5 deg

Also could replace the stock control arm with the m3/m4 control arm which adds 0.5 if you are rwd. XDrive not compatible

but the arms M3, join the wheel with the fin right? and there is a possibility of friction.

Adding the m3 lower control arms alone shouldn't cause any issues, but you will need an alignment and there is also a headlight leveling joint that needs to be replaced with it. They are sold together as a kit on Turner motorsports. There's a long thread on the project here

Rwd only, no xDrive cars. Can't tell what you have

You can order them direct from KMAC in Australia. That's what some of us in the USA have done.

Since I’m hearing horror stories about swapping bushings on X-drive vehicles who makes decent camber plates? And is that any safer on the axles?

Just installed these prototype Millway camber plates on my F31 X-Drive... they use the factory plastic bearings just as their standard camber plates, but these prototypes added polyurethane bushings to address the chatter produced by typical camber plates.

Bearing (pun intended) in mind that I have zero experience with camber plates, my initial impression is that there is very faint chatter that can be heard at low speed, but at speeds over 15mph - nothing.
