Will do, but they seem less flexible than Vorshlog, yet I know that the Dinan/BMW partnership would be less troublesome for warranty work.
I'm not saying run lower pressures all the time, only at the track. That's why you see guys fiddling with tire gauges in the paddock.

Less flexible because they are fixed. Vorshlag is adjustable. But truth is 90% of guys (me included) who have adjustable camber plates set it and forget it. I don't go back to a street setting. The real added benefit of the Vorshlag or GC plates is that you can run aggressive camber (above 3*) while still playing with caster.
