I went to the dealer today (Beaudry BMW/Saab) in Tucson, AZ today looking for
the camber (crash) correcting strut bearings I've been reading about today.
 Does anyone use these on an e30 m3 for
AS autox, are they available?  Anyone have a good fast setup for this car?  I
have had it about five months and I'm just working out the tire pressures with
R1s.  Any help would be excellent.  

I also asked about the factory manual CD.  "Never heard of it."  They weren't
much help.

Tony,

I use these on my E30 M3 , a very common modification. Try having your
dealer search as an offset upper strut bearing.  They will give ~ 1/2
degree improvement in camber setting . Improves turn in response w/o
drastically effecting tire wear. 
As for suspension set up on the E30 M3 , I recommend Turner Motorsport at

For auto cross and street use , go with Eibach Comps , and Suspension Tech.
bars and Bilstein Sport shocks.  If your car is an autocross and track only
car , consider TMS's custom E30 M3 springs. 

You'll need to reset your toe in after installing the upper strut bearings.
I set mine at  ~ 1/16" total toe for street use.


Good Luck,
