max camber with vorshlag plates

Had the vorshlag camber plates installed on my 135i in order to fit my wheels/tires(18x9 et42 arc 8's with 255/35 rs3's) but not able to run enough camber. On the drivers side the car is maxing out at -1.5 but there is room for more camber on the passenger side. Anyone know why I'm unable to run more negative camber and why its maxed out on only the drivers side?

you sure its installed correctly? You should be able to get 3.5-4 degrees maxed out, hell I've gotten just over 3 degrees with my fixed dinan plates and a strut tower slot

Check install. Plates pushed all the way out (no camber) should be like -1.5

I'm at -3.6 with TCKline and have a bit more adjustment, but need to not go all the way due to rebound adjustment

Thanks guys, I'll call the shop back. I understand that theres some limitation with negative camber due to the fact that the car is still on stock spring/struts but I called vorshlag and they told me that I should be able to get at least -2.5 to -2.8 degrees of camber.

I had a similar issue when I was getting my GC plates installed by a shop. They installed it wrong. Plain and simple. Put them in touch with Vorshlag directly to reduce your headaches.

Will do. Did they tell you what the issue was with the installation by chance? Just curious.

No, they were idiots and blamed GC. GC finally helped them out, I suspect they put them on backwards.

Cosigned on incorrect installed. With stock springs/damper, aka stock height + Vorshlags I was at -2.6*F camber. Hoping with these TCK's I can push closer to -4!
