BMW MPerformance HAS - Which camberplates?

On my new 2018 Competition, after reading some reviews, I've decided to give the M Performance HAS a try. However, I really want the added camber adjustments via camberplates.

I'm totally torn between the TC Kline and Ground Control plates. Has anyone paired these with the M Performance with either of these camber plates? And how is the noise and vibrations associated with these and is the mating of the two suspension components relatively seamless?

Thank you in advance.

I almost went for the TC Kline camber plates because they were the first to market. I decided to cancel my order when I found out they are only adjustable in step increments, preventing a precise adjustment of front camber.

I ended up installing GC camber plates. They had served me well on my E46 and E92 and they are very well made. They allow for precise adjustment of camber to get it perfectly to your specifications and ensure equal left and right camber levels.

Since the MP HAS use the standard top bearings, I don't see any issues of pairing them with GC camber plates. IIRC, there are few members that have already successfully paired MP-HAS and GC camber plates.

Thanks for the reply. I did see that TCKR only offers set camber adjustments. I guess the positive is once they are set the aren’t moving but they do lack fine tuning. Lack of noise and long term rigidity is my primary focus. Have you liked the GC pieces with your application?

^I did give it a thought but ended up getting the MPerformance HAS. I decided to pair with GC plates. I’ll report back once I get this setup installed and have som miles put on.

I plan on doing the same. Have the GC plates already, still vacillating on the MP HAS. Post your impressions when you have them.

Ground Control plates paired with MP HAS has been great so far on my 18" ZCP F80. The plates do increase tire noise by about 15% and stack height doesn't appear to be an issue. Being able to adjust camber is a great benefit to the already very enjoyable competition package. The total ride firmness in my opinion increased by about 10% (on lowest ride height setting). If you are one that finds the comp. pack ride to already too stiff, this combo is probably not for you. I find it pleasant for daily driving with great performance.
