My friend Lucas bought some Ground Control camber plates and wanted to install them on his 2019 BMW M2 Competition, so he brought it over and we filmed it. Hope it helps!
Here is the QuickJack lift that I use:amzn.to/2RY2JuN

This is helpful and informative
Great!
you can get to those two nuts by the windsheild wiper by removing those black caps with a pry tool.
+N N O yes we realized that later when someone else mentioned it. Thanks!
😂😂
Another awesome video! Thanks 🙏🏼
+Brent Hiranaka you’re welcome! 🍻
Thanks for showing the struggle in the video, I hate videos that show start and end and none of the actual issues people run into!
Yes! Thank you! 😂
Thoughts on the possibility of reusing the oem 18mm strut top nut? I just don’t understand why ground control includes a 22mm and now I have to source a new pass through socket...
+Stanislav Kovtun if the threads are the same I don’t know why not 🤷♂️
Help Me DIY theoretically the threads are from the strut spindle so it’s gotta be the same pattern on the new 22mm nut that ground control supplies with the camber plates
+Stanislav Kovtun yeah... I guess unless the hole in the center of the camber plate is wider and requires a wider nut? I would call GroundControl and ask. They are pretty responsive (even though I don’t like their product for my M4)
I noticed that you did not remove the spring perch bearing from OEM guide support and install it on the new camber plates so that spring has a nice seat and it acts a shake absorber.
+Benedict Malveda oh really? Thanks for pointing that out!
Those two circular black grommets below the wiper allow you to get o the bolts - no need to remove the wiper. Will save some time in the future and less work. Great vid though.
+Doing LBM Things yes a couple others have since pointed that out to me. Will save a lot of time and effort for sure! Thanks.
This video is like the show "renovation realities" but in M car form.
Never seen that show. Is that a good thing? 😆
Own the same car with a CarBahn Stage 1 tune (572/576 Hp/Trq) is FAR FROM STOCK. Chassis requires larger contact patch because it spins in 1st/2nd/3rd unless you leave MDM on which is not the purpose of this car.
Lol listen to your friend. A breaker bar would have had that brace off in 30 seconds.
+Tyler Savin haha yes!
why dont you just take out the insurts in the panel in stead of removing the wiper?
+GTI Clubsport S to give the panel enough clearance to get a wrench under. You could possibly get away without it, but since I already had the right tools figured I would show everyone just in case.
@@HelpMeDIY i understandwhat you did but you can remove the 2 caps out of the panel very easy which give you acces to the bolts

GTI Clubsport S well I’ll be! Checked the video of his M2 and then checked under the hood of my M4 and sure enough! Caps!!! Thank you!
22:30 - If you have one, a crow’s foot wrench could work for torquing the nut and providing clearance for another tool to hold the strut shaft.
+Lucas Sganderlla probably so!
Ground control camber plates suck they make to much noise.
+greg papa I agree. Not a fan. That’s why I took them off of my M4 and replaced them with KW Clubsports!
@@HelpMeDIY do the kw come with camber plates or use stock ones?
@@gregpapagno5683 the Clubsports have them with the coil overs as one piece 😎
@@HelpMeDIY can u adjust camber or are they in one position?
+greg papa yes. Do they even make non-adjustable camber plates??
