Backdraft camber plates
I've been looking for camber plates and the E36 plates all appear to be clocked 30 deg off for the Backdraft (two outbd studs are parallel to the centerline of the car on the BDR)
The E30 plates appear to be clocked correctly and both models (E30 & E36) share the same spring seat bolt pattern but even then I'd installing them on swapped sides to make them work it appears (two studs are inboard and parallel on the E30 installation).

All that being said I seem to remember seeing a Ground Control camber plate for a BDR photo on this site recently but now lost it or maybe my mind... |

Maybe this isn't helpful, but I called down to BDR/Iconic.
Although the website indicates no stock, they said they always have them.
Disadvantage: the upright mounts without a strut top bushing, so there is less road isolation. Also added caster adjustment from them too, there is no grease fitting or way to lubricate, FYI.

I think I'll continue researching other camber plate options. Backparts.com is closed down and moved to Iconicparts.com Emails and phone calls to Iconic are unanswered. Nothing has really changed with the opening of the new site.

The Backdraft camber plates are your only option. I have been running them for a little over 3 years now.
Top pic is camber plates with crappy shocks.
Bottom pic is with JRi double adjustables.

Thanks Kevin! Those do look great. I guess I'll cool out for a bit and hopefully Backdraft will get around to replying.
I'm so used to Aviation where everything is measured in minutes and adjusting to the response time of days/weeks in automotive is hard to change my mindset.

You should call Jay at Vintage (Cashburn).... See if he can help you.... Only communicate with Boynton Beach if Jay can’t help you....
Jay and his brother Brian are the Backdraft experts.... I snapped a half shaft racing in AZ and needed a new one within a week for a race in TX. Boynton Beach wasn’t going to get one to me in time. I called Jay, he didn’t have an extra one in stock. The only ones they had were installed on cars.... I am not going to say Brian pulled one off a car and Jay shipped it to me, but I did win the race in TX that week...

I contacted Jay's shop and per usual Jay was quick to respond. Unfortunately he has zero stock on the camber plates and they're not fast movers.
I did get a hold of Perry @ Iconicparts and they are zero bal as well. He is contacting Reg on the timeframe for the next batch to be made.

Congratulations on making contact with Boynton Beach.... Mark it down as a historic event.
I'm pretty sure Boynton Beach has shown out of stock since I got mine.
I've always told Jay if I win the Powerball I will buy Backdraft and put him and Brian in charge...

Perry got back to me and they have the plates instock and I just ordered a set.
$299, $320 shipped. I ordered race versions due to the strut piston dia I already have installed.
I must say his communication is spot on and quick on response time/photos/info. I'm very happy with the service.
They have them on the ICONIC website now.

Nice reading about adjustable camber plate!
Keven, can you tell me more about the JRI double adjustable front shocks? I don't like the feel of the fronts that i have now...think I put in KYB's years back.

No, you will need the Backdraft camber plates.
You will also need the Backdraft strut race housings which will need machining at the top which JJ will do. You cannot use stock strut housings as the insert is larger in diameter.

Installed the camber plates and new KYB shocks yesterday. Drives a lot better now.
