Anyone use these?
I'm going to pick up a shim kit from BW or Turner to dial out my front camber. Outside wear is terrible.
Just wondering if anyone had experience with either/or.

No experience. Interestingly, zhp's tend to wear on the inside of tires due to their setup.
When was the last time you had it aligned monk3y?
Toe could be out of wack...
I ordered Turner Motorsports Shim Kit. Planning to dial out my fronts to -2.5* at 0 toe. I'll give you updates :)
is your outside wear due to lack of camber during cornering? Looks like the shim kit applies to E36 and Zs only not really e46s?
I have my front camber at -3 with a little toe out 1/16th for better turn in. The rear is at 2.5 with toe in. 1/16th. However I'm not really ever worried about tire wear since I have seperate set of rims for daily driving.
I daily drive with toe set at -3 degrees camber ,0.02' toe out in front and -2 degrees camber, 0.08' toe in rear. Work's alignment machine is setup in degrees and minutes but I forgot what the conversion is to inches. I added a little toe out in the front for better turn in and keep the factory toe in on the rear to have better stability when on the power exiting the corner.
Driving the car daily like this isn't too bad. The car is a little twitchy on uneven roads and alot more responsive on the freeway. The tire wear on bmw factory settings is pretty aggressive. I have it setup right now to a similar number to factory but the front is set at toe out instead of factory toe in. The camber itself doesn't wear out the tires as much as aggressive toe so I'm not too worry about tire wear :)
