shocks springs. anything else while I'm there?

Hello 1 addicts
I have a 135i dct. Planning to go with Joni and eibach springs. While I’m under there, any other recs for suspension wise. This is a street mostly setup. M3 control arms/ sub rage inserts? Hope it won’t be too much of a task. Any other recommendations? Thx

The sub frame inserts are cheap and easy while you are there

Maybe some other shock mounts. TC Kline recommends Power flex (which I have) and I know others have gone non-OE too. The OE spec fails.

If you're ever going to do the M3 control arms, now's the time. The lower mount is different, so if you don't do it now and decide to do it later, you'll need to replace the shocks again.

If you are going to M3 rear lower camber links, PM us so we can set you up with those with the correct headlight aim bracket and Koni externally adjustable shocks.

Ok Do I also need dinan camber plates?

I’m also upgrading to m3 control arms which already has more camber I think 1.5 degrees of camber added. Do I still need the dinan camber plates?

Thanks in advance
