KMAC Rear Camber Toe Kit

[MC330CI]

Has anyone had any experience installing this kit on their X? I've recently purchased the H&R Lowering springs and want to bring the alignment back to spec.

I am also curious, I have my H&R ready to install...

Also, anyone with 06 with/air susp. fit camber plates up front?

I did kmac front and rear kits. Not bad, just a pain to install unless u have a machine press

I used the Inglls camber kit for the front since it was only $30 on ebay. It brought the front end back into alignment and I haven't had any issues with it yet.

I believe the KMAC kit comes with a special press tool to remove the original bushing and to install the new one. Was this tool difficult to use?

I bought the KMAC kit too but haven't installed it yet cause everyone is afraid to touch the suspension for a bimmer. Found a shop to do it and they quoted $130 per side +alignment. I'll do it after I kill this pair of tires I guess
It does have the press tools but from what my guy said they're crap and crush easily. A good shop will have their own tools anyway

hey jst2878, since you did the kit already...how much did it help out? Where you able to get the camber back up to specs or even a little less camber than stock? I killed my back tires in less than 6 months so I just flipped em and i"ll wear the other side out and replace the rears in another 6 months with fresh tires and do the camber kit at the same time.

i was able to get the rear camber to 1degree if wanted. the front was dead on but the rear toe was a mystery to me since i could only get the total toe not each one seperately. you have to press your toe bushings in at a certain direction. i faced the bolts hole in the bushings at three and nine o clock so they would face all the way out but I think I should have moved it but eventually declined to do so after four attempts at it. this will not be the case for anyone else if they can get the eccentric bolt and nut to work.

thanks alot for the info! I will pass it on to my guy when I finally get around to doing the install.
