Have anyone in the forum had this problem?

My max adjustment is limited due to the plates being very close to the stock chassis enforcement.

As you can see, the driver side has less available adjustment. Max -2.3 to -2.4.

Could get more on the passenger side.

Car is m240i xdrive.

I'm pretty sure that's consistent with the advertised adjustability range. My Vorshlag plates for the stock dampers are also set to about 2.4 deg and appear to be maxed (or close to it) on the driver's side. These cars are just a pain in the butt to get decent camber.

Actually, I was told the washer should be installed under the strut brace bar, thus increasing the clearance for the plate to slide under.

Is that correct? I find conflicting information on Vorshlag's install page. The images show the washer and nut on top of the strut brace; however, the written instructions clearly state that the washer is to be used as a spacer between the camber plate and the strut brace. And even moving the washer below the strut to act as a spacer, I don't think it'll provide enough height to get over the sliders.

One spacer is included for each side that goes between the camber plate and the strut tower brace.

Unless he is saying something else, then I don't know.
