the rear on the other hand, wont be able to be adjusted. there isnt enough room. you have just enough clearance to have the sleeves fully inflated. the bag will be centered in the strut tower.
Originally posted by Svenska94Aero View PostIf you want to run camber plates, you will need a different bag than the one included in the fab kit. The 58480 bag has a different top plate style that eliminates the stock kit bearing/bushing to allow you to mount it to a camber plate and allow the unit to pivot with the pillow bearing. I'm running into the same issue with making camber plates for my car.

Originally posted by EDIRTYY808 View Postthanks for all the help. how about camber, do i need to angle the struts inwards for camber in the front and rear? or will it camber automatically when i air out?
i know that airlift sells some of the prebuilt bmw kits with camber plates, so you might want to ask them you could buy the plates and if they would be compatible with the fabricator kit.
also, you would need to see if any of those would have the same stud pattern as your car.
then there is the option of just making your own plates as theneek did with his e21 on airlift struts.

You need airlift bellow bags for the front and airlift sleeves for the rear. Management is up to you but you can either buy a manual kit or an electric kit. I went with the airlift digital management from Bagriders.
Wheel size is all personal preference. As you can see, the car was on stock 14" wheels and it still looked dumpedLast edited by NegativeCamber; 06-02-2013, 12:43 PM.
