Why is it only GroundControl that offers M3 Rear Camber Links in coilovers

Hi Guys

Wondering why is it only GC that offers this part in their suspensions



This part would open doors for m1 kits to fit our cars?

How much benefit is there to have these with their solid mounting points vs our OEM rubber mounts.

You can get that part from many vendors. It doesn't mean you can use the full 1m coilover kit. From what I understand the 1m and m3 have different front knuckles where the struts mount. So if you get the M3 lower camber links like you have in the picture you have to run m3/1m rear struts and 135 front struts.

iirc hpa does a coilover set up including the m rear camber links

but I am sure you could call up whatever suspension company and ask for m3 rear shocks and then you should be good to go
