Installed camber plates yesterday...
 

Just thought I'd let everyone know I installed a set of Dinan camber plates yesterday. I first went for RE plates but they told my installer that theirs would not fit my 04 X5. Anyhow, even though the RE plates were about $80 less than Dinan's, I got a discount on the Dinan's and saved $50 so it was only $30 more. I had a shop in Stoneham, MA install them called Bavarian Performance Group - nice place and great people. I couldn't have been more pleased with them and their work. They put two guys on the job and it took them just under an hour for the complete installation at a labor cost of $170. They even let me hang out and watch the installation. I still get the heebee-jeebees around spring compressors!

The plates are great & I can certainly notice the difference. Quicker turn-in and the understeer is all but gone. Feels great on exit/entrance ramps. The only problem now is the slow drivers who always seem to be in front of me! Great, fairly low-cost, invisible mod. Very happy with the plates and the shop! :bmw:

Very cool! :thumbup:

Congrats... they are still my favorite mod that I've done!!

nice...I have seen some of the cars that BPG has worked on...they seem to know their stuff very well!

X5Jay, congrats. I also have a set of Dinan camber plates sitting in my house. I'm debating whether I should install them or not. Some people get uneven tire wear and some don't...

Mine have been wearing evenly... if you corner aggressively, yours would too. :thumbup:

Congrats on the camber plates. I have the RE Camber Plates which Hayaku helped me install them in my X5. Agree with the quicker turn-in and less understeer!!! Really helps with the handling without lowering the X5.

Need to ask...
 

Does anyone know if a 4.8is would benefit from these or if there's really not much of a difference??? I keep hearing about camber plates, but as you can see I'm not very mechanically inclined, therefore, I don't know whether it would be a worthwhile mod for me!!! TIA!!!

also we do have all around air suspension. So i would waiit until there is a specific camber plates for the 4.8

Thanks for the tip!!!
